City Resource hosts maps of all kinds, mostly those which intend to make an argument. For instance, the 1966 Map of Mumbai (Bombay), when overlaid on the current OSM, one can see how the mud flats are built upon, with no flood mitigation plan in place. Below are some useful web maps showing Bombay's evolution. The 'Other Cities' section hosts old maps of Vasai Virar, Mira-Bhayandar, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Panvel, Chatrapati Sambhaji Nagar (Aurangabad), Nasik, Raigad District (part) and Chilka Lake in Orissa.
