I've been off list for some time; not sure if this resource
has been mentioned; it didn't come up in searches on the
ADS list archive.  The graphic maps are impressive:

About the Dialect Survey
------------------------
The dialect survey is an expansion of an initiative begun by Professor
Bert Vaux at Harvard University. Dr. Vaux prepared an earlier version of
this survey for his Dialects of English class at Harvard in 1999. The
survey has since been revised and expanded for a larger, lay audience.
