I don't know if this will be useful to anyone but a link was recently posted on the Yahoo AOE group page to a superb map of the Holland/Belgium area of Europe dated 1777. It is segmented into 275 sheets each of which can be rescaled to give very detail views of the local countryside. Obviously the area includes Waterloo, Wavre, Quatre Bras and more and I am sure there have been a lot of other campaigns in the area. Here is the link, it truly is awesome:

Sweet!
Great resource.
Leon - can we have a dedicated 'resources' thread where all this great bits people have found can be stored centrally! ;)

Yeah, shouldn't be a problem. I'll make a note and get something sorted.
Great find. I will use this as reference for some WWII battles in the future :).
Terrific. This is the "Cockpit of Europe" after all. :-bd
One quick thought... I couldn't find a way of downloading or printing the maps - perhaps there is something available there but I couldn't find it and my Dutch isn't what it used to be! However if you have some screen capture software such as FRAPS then you can easily copy whatever you have zoomed in on.
You could always use the print screen function on the keyboard then paste into Word or something similar, then crop any edges you don't want.
