As of 20:55 PM Mountain Standard Time on Dec. 2, 2007, this request has been fulfilled. VGMaps.com now hosts all of the maps that you can see in the NES Game Atlas (the first official Nintendo Power Player's Guide), as well as the maps from the other games in the covered series. Thanks to everyone who contributed!
The original post is as follows:
Hey, I know I'm asking for a lot here, but here goes.
I'm sure I've mentioned this on numerous occasions but I love the very first Nintendo Power Player's Guide, the NES Game Atlas. This book had 18 NES games from 8 different series mapped out, and was probably what stirred the realization in me that game maps can be fun to look at.
I would eventually like these games mapped out - though I know it would be quite a lot of work. I think many of the games have been fully mapped already, but I'll list them here with links for convenience's sake. I will also list the sequels that were not included in the original book (since it was released in 1991/1992) with a "+", which, if you include Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels and the other Disney/Capcom NES games, nearly doubles it to 33.

I just finished compressing all the NES maps. I've saved 32.5 MB from the compression I have done so far (52.8 MB instead of 85.3 MB, a reduction of 38.1%), so with both hotlinking protection and a possible overall size reduction of about 40%, I may see significantly reduced bandwidth usage in the coming months.
I see that my Willow maps sizes have been (about) halved. Quite amazing. And congratulations to TerraEsperZ for being the first to reach the "22: Experienced User" level. Do anybody know where I can find a list of these user levels?
