*Amandus Johnson, “[https://etc.usf.edu/maps/pages/8100/8120/8120.htm Detailed Map of New Sweden 1638-1655]” attributed to a book by Amandus Johnson, ''Swedish Settlements on the Delaware'' (Philadelphia: Univ. of Pennsylvania, 1911) in “Settlements on the Delaware River” in New Netherland and Beyond at http://sites.rootsweb.com/~nycoloni/nswamap.html (accessed 8 November 2008). Best available map, but the labels are sometimes tiny and difficult to read on the Internet. The explanations on this map are probably the main source for ubiquitous lists of settlement dates for the forts, for the permanent settlements, and rivers and creeks of New Sweden. This map is not listed in the above book's table of contents or list of maps; perhaps it was a flyleaf pocket insert. An identical map is in Amandus Johnson, ''The Swedes on the Delaware 1638-1664'' (Philadelphia: Swedish Colonial Society, 1915), 392. However, the digitized by Google 2008 version of page 392 is virtually blank.

*“[http://runeberg.org/nfbt/0095.html Kartskiss öfver Nya Sverige 1638-55 (Efter Amandus Johnson)]” a map image in the article “Nya Sverige” in ''Nordisk familjebok. Uggleupplagan. 20. Norrsken - Paprocki'' (Stockholm: Nordisk familjeboks förlags, 1914; digitized by Projekt Runeberg, 2002), 153-54. Less detailed but much more readable on the Internet than Johnson's original. Shows forts and blockhouses only—no other settlements.<br>

*"Location of Fort Nassau" in Gloucester County, New Jersey History and Genealogy [Internet site] at http://www.nj.searchroots.com/Gloucesterco/fortnassau.htm#Location (accessed 8 November 2008). This map series emphasizes Ft. Nassau, but a few of them also show parts of New Sweden.
