This is a superb resource that I use frequently when creating scenarios. The maps only cover those sectors of the Western Front that were occupied at one time or another by British or Dominion troops (so excludes Verdun for example or many of the battlefields that the Americans fought over). From a British perspective, it does not include Chemin des Dames (June 1918) nor Soissons (Second Battle of the Marne). Nor does it include the terrain that was covered in the advances of the last weeks of the war.

The other superb map resource is here:

It covers the whole of Belgium and if you follow the lowest link then the maps change scale as you zoom in on an area of interest. The maps are based on WW1 vintage maps but are very useful for any of the battles (First or Second World Wars) in the Ardennes region for example.

And here is the definitive source for WW1, at least from a British and Dominion forces perspective:

Includes 3D views of the terrain with the trench maps overlaid.

And here is the definitive source for maps involving American forces on the Western Front. I use these for scenarios around Chemin des Dames, Soissons and related battlefields.
