Here is a list of references I use commonly in article editing and building. Links without exact references will typically provide access to groups of reference material.

US Census Bureau P.L. 94-171 County Maps
For referencing locations in the US. See below for more exact examples, but the general format is as follows:

 

N.B:
 * is "CensusMap *TWO-CHAR STATE* *Fourcharcounty* *###*", e.g. "CensusMapFLMiDa" for the Index Sheet of Miami-Dade County, Florida; "CensusMapMTHill27" for Sheet 27 of Hill County, Montana.
 * If the number at the URL's end is 000, then "|sheet=Index Sheet", otherwise "|sheet=##" or "|sheet=###". The URL Number must have three digits!
 * If a Census map determines that a junction is on a boundary, then use the incorporated municipality; if none, use the CDP with the greater/greatest population. If the junction lies between two or more municipalities, or there's only CDP's that are similarly sized/important, then amend the RJL as follows: instead of "|location=xxx", use "|location_special= Location 1–Location 2 " with as many – followed by marked-up locations as necessary.
 * Remove the wikilink from "U.S. Census Bureau" if already present in references.
 * Previous versions of this citation use |cartography=Geography Division |at=Sheet instead of |author= U.S. Census Bureau Geography Division |sheet= - update to the second form.
