I am looking for good online sources for historical maps, specifically the late medieval period (but other periods would be interesting as well). While there are many historical maps out there, few feature details such as city names, names of smaller states or regions within larger states etc.

Let’s share our links!

(This should be community wiki)

This is by far the best map website, it has maps from 1AD to 2000AD.

this does not add maps that are historical, these are modern maps of old boundaries – ihtkwot♦ Mar 23 '12 at 18:00

Quite extensive, and definitely within the time period asked for by the asker. – BrotherJack Mar 24 '12 at 19:31
