I love maps and I love genealogy, and always the twain should meet. But how about a local map puzzle on a genealogy site? The Ashland County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society is the only place I've seen that has an online jigsaw puzzle map of its 15 constituent townships.

Every state and county should do likewise. In the meantime, it just doesn't get any better than this.
