Google has launched the Google Maps Gallery, which enables organizations to share and publish maps via the Google Maps Engine. Maps in the gallery are published by Google's cloud infrastructure. The gallery can be found at: http://maps.google.com/gallery/.

The Google Maps Gallery already includes many maps, including historical maps, census maps, space maps, maps with demographics and more. Some of the organizations that have provided maps include the National Geographic Society, USGS, NASA, Natonal Park Service, US Census Bureau and Natural Earth.
