nemenik was asking about a source for old maps that depict seamonsters and other fantasy critters. I don't really know of a good one specifically for antique maps. The general sites:
http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/map_sites/hist_sites.html and
http://oddens.geog.uu.nl/index.html
have a lot of gems buried in their lists, but it takes some hunting to find them. The mapchuck_lw linked to (http://virtual.finland.fi/finfo/english/map/map5.html) is one of the nicest examples I've ever seen.
