Map Collection

Overview

The Map Collection provides various cartographic materials on the world, individual continents, countries, regions, states, counties and cities, as well as subject maps which cover areas such as history, vegetation, geology, soil, climate, and population. As well as our collection of cataloged materials we house a large collection of uncataloged materials. Cataloged materials may be found by using the online catalog. The uncataloged materials are indexed, but are not yet cataloged. Maps circulate for a period of 28 days.
