Greg, 

What is the primary concern for the disclaimer? I tend not to include
anything on thematic maps, but reference or topographic maps may need a
disclaimer about limitation in use for navigation or the need for the
map user to consult other sources for local or current conditions.

Any advice on wording of a standard disclaimer, or resources that include examples of disclaimers for online maps would be helpful.  I've found several resources that reference disclaimers and citation management (libguides, USGS webpages, state and county websites, etc.), but nothing that points to standard disclaimer wording that can be customized to an online map.  Any guidance/suggestions is appreciated!  Hope everyone is doing well.
