CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application is a continuation of U.S. non-provisional application Ser. No. 10/162,723, filed Jun. 3, 2002, entitled "Identification, Storage and Display of Land Data on a Website," which was based upon and claims priority to: U.S. provisional application Ser. No. 60/295,097, filed Jun. 1, 2001, entitled "Identification, Storage and Display of Land Data on a Website;" U.S. provisional application 60/336,258, filed Oct. 31, 2001, entitled "Identification, Storage and Display of Land Data on a Website;" U.S. provisional application Ser. No. 60/370,083, filed Apr. 4, 2002, entitled "Web Imaging Serving Technology;" and U.S. provisional application Ser. No. 60/356,405, filed Feb. 11, 2002, entitled "Internet Delivered and Accessible set of Maps, Images, and Tools for Locating, Identifying, Measuring, Viewing, and Communicating Information About Land and Areas of Land." All of these are specifically incorporated herein by reference for all that they disclose and teach. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] An extensive amount of data has been collected from various sources such as satellites, land surveys, legal descriptions and other sources that provide detailed information relating to land. For example, maps provided by the Bureau of Land Management provide map data that indicates legal boundaries relating to land ownership. Satellite data provides imagery indicating land features, growth and vegetation, water sources and other geographical features. Infrared imagery has been used to careful study growth and vegetation features, for example. Topological information has been accumulated through radar satellites and topological surveys. Hence, there is a huge body of information relating to land and associated features such as rivers, roads, vector data and raster data. [0003] Various imaging techniques have been used that combine various sources of data and allow a user to view images of these combined data sources. For example, 3-D images have been generated that combine political and physical characteristics with satellite imagery. Land can be viewed, using this technique, at an elevated angle such that the image depicts the various features relating to land. Further, growth and vegetation data can be added to such images from other data sources to provide a more enhanced view. As another example, BLM map data can be combined with satellite imagery data to indicate legal boundaries on the satellite imagery. Further, topological data can be used to provide shading on a two-dimensional image that provides imagery relating to topological features, which is commonly referred to as 2.5-D images. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0004] The present invention may therefore comprise a method of generating a personalized land website at a dedicated Internet accessible location having a dedicated uniform resource locator (URL) address on the Internet, said personalized land website providing an archive of a variety of information relating to a selected area of land comprising: creating said dedicated Internet accessible location at said dedicated URL address for storage of said archive of said variety of information; providing map data over the Internet that relates to said selected area of land; providing boundary drawing tools to allow a boundary to be circumscribed at least partially around said selected area of land on said map data; drawing a boundary at least partially around said selected area of land using said boundary drawing tools; storing said map data at said dedicated Internet accessible location on said land website at said URL address; and providing additional storage locations on said personalized land website for storage of text information relating to said area of land at said dedicated Internet accessible location. [0005] The present invention may further comprise a method of generating a personalized land website at a dedicated Internet accessible location having a dedicated uniform resource locator address (URL) address on the Internet, said personalized land website dedicated to providing a variety of different types of information relating to a selected area of land at said dedicated URL address that is accessible to users of the Internet comprising: creating said dedicated Internet accessible location for said land website that is accessible by users of the Internet at said dedicated URL address for storage of said variety of information relating to said selected area of land; providing map data over the Internet that is stored at said dedicated Internet accessible location; drawing a boundary at least partially around said selected area of land using a boundary drawing tool; providing additional map data that includes different types of maps and photographic data relating to said selected area of land; and storing said map data and photographic data on said personalized land website at said dedicated Internet accessible location which is located at said dedicated URL address. [0006] The present invention may further comprise a land website that provides a dedicated Internet URL address for archiving information relating to an area of land comprising: a storage device that stores map data; boundary drawing tools that circumscribe a boundary around said area of land to create global coordinates for said area of land; an Internet accessible storage area located at said dedicated Internet address that stores said map data associated with said global coordinates and other data as a personalized land website; browser compatible imaging tools that interface with browsers that allow viewing of said map data and other data on said personalized land website. [0007] The present invention may further comprise a method of generating individual and personalized land websites located at a dedicated uniform resource locator address on the Internet creator that provides information relating to a selected area of land, said personalized land website providing an archive of said information comprising: creating said dedicated uniform resource locator address on the Internet; providing map data over the Internet; providing boundary drawing tools that circumscribe a boundary around said selected area of land on said map data to create personalized land map data; storing said personalized and map data at said dedicated uniform resource locator address; and providing additional storage locations at additional dedicated uniform resource locator addresses for storage of additional information relating to said selected area of land. [0008] The present invention may further comprise a method of generating a personalized land website on the Internet that contains information relating to a selected area of land comprising: providing map data over the Internet; drawing a boundary around said selected area of land using boundary drawing tools to create a personalized land map; storing said personalized land map at said dedicated uniform resource locator address; storing additional data relating to said selected area of land at an additional dedicated uniform resource locator address; and providing said uniform resource locator address and said additional dedicated uniform resource locator address as said personalized land website.
