LocFinder is essentially a heavily customised frontend to MapServer:

The layers are defined in the .map files, here are some you might recognise:

coastl
ocean
rivers
state lines
contours
roads
trainlines

Rather than attempting to write a java/JavaScript frontend for this, why not
join the LocFinder development team?  Then your contributions get put where
they count - into LocFinder itself, rather than as a hodge-podge of
additions on your own site.  Contact our illustrious treasurer (James Healy)
who happens to be the lead developer for LocFinder...
