The NOS MapFinder Web site no
longer provides preview raster images of nautical charts,
as they could not regularly be maintained and updated.
Instead, refer to the Coastal Map Series found at the
Office of
Coast Survey Home Page. The Coastal Map
Series is not suitable for navigational use; however,
these digital, geo-referenced images can be used for
planning and other mapping purposes, such as in geographic
information systems (GIS).
Information on nautical charts specifically for
navigation, lists of Authorized Chart Agents, and other
programs and products from the Coast Survey can also be
found at the NOS
Office of
Coast Survey Home Page.
Historical maps and charts are also now being served
through the
Office of
Coast Survey.
Therefore, the following links are no longer valid.
