This index map will lead you to various 1949 aerial photographs of Atlanta. Pretty interesting contrast to Atlanta today!

Pretty cool if you are interested in pushing the boundaries of your garden. I’ve been growing palm trees and eucalyptus trees in the piedmont of Georgia for about 10 years (where they say it cant be done), so hardiness zones and micro climates are somewhat interesting to me. The Interactive USDA Hardiness Zone Map at this site is pretty powerful because it allows you to zoom to your city or zip. Plantmaps has apparently created their own proprietary hardiness zones that encompass data from 1960 to 2005. There are also some data overlays of various north american plant species native ranges.

www.localetrends.com has added pages for individual market areas. These pages contain basic demographic data as well as heat maps for real estate prices and school quality (test scores). Pretty cool stuff…
