Indiana University has a nice description of World War II Newsmaps online,
detailing the history of the resource and how the Newsmaps changed over
time, discussing different features, layout, etc.

This is a great resource!!!

https://libraries.indiana.edu/wwii-newsmaps

I remember writing up the text more than 20 years ago.
Glad to see it is still available.
