Tweets - one site I find very useful is the USGS GNIS database query site,
http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnis/web_query.gnis_web_query_form

With this site, you can enter in the name you are looking for, and if it
appears on any USGS topo map it will return the location and allow you to
see the area on maps and aerial photos.

It's great for those times someone mentions something that's not mentioned
in the indexes to Wahl & Paulson or DeLorme.
