Like notches, but the opposite? I try to remember to check the newly added
lists at Gallica near the beginning of each month and I'd be glad to pass
along works of interest to the list when I find them.

There are some *very* frustrating map images out there on-line, you're
right. Very pretty, but if you try to magnify them enough to read place
names they're just fuzzy enough to make it impossible.
On the subject of maps, an excellent repository is the David Rumsey
collection:

Rarely relevant for medieval concerns (much less medieval religious ones)
but also of possible interest is this map-related blog:
