I think I've found an impact crater; whom should I inform?

Where can I find maps of strewn fields so that I can search for meteorites?
An internet search can locate private vendors that offer strewn field maps. The academic literature (e.g., journals), accessed through your local college or university library, can also provide information on strewn fields in articles written about particular meteorite falls or finds.
