Collection Description

John F. Reed Library is a U.S. Geological Survey selective depository. We receive maps for selected states and selected categories. The Reed Library map collection contains maps of practical interest regionally to the Southwest community as well as those that support the curriculum of the College. The map collection consists of map series including U.S. Geological Survey Topographic Quadrangle Maps, U.S. Geological Survey Thematic Maps, Photoimage Maps and Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) Maps, as well as individual maps and atlases encompassing a selection of political, geographic, and geologic themes. Reed Library also has a variety of indexes to help in locating maps and other materials to aid in map use and interpretation.

U.S. Geological Survey Topographic Quadrangle Maps
The majority our topo holdings contain the popular 7.5 minute series (1:24,000 scale) covering the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.

Alaska is covered with a 15 minute series (1:63,360) and 1° x 2° (1:250,000) series. Various other states also are covered in the 1° x 2° (1:250,000) series.

The United States coverage includes the 30' x 60' series (1:100,000) for each state. In addition, Reed Library has a USGS County Map Series in either 1:50,000 or 1:100,000 scale for parts of Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia.

The USGS Bureau of Land Management Surface Management Status Maps at 1:100,000 scale cover Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.

U.S. Geological Survey Thematic Maps
Reed Library’s collection includes USGS Thematic Maps in the following categories: Antarctic Maps, Coal Investigations Series Maps, Circum-Pacific Maps, Geophysical Investigations, Geologic Quadrangle, Hydrologic Maps, Hydrologic Unit Maps by State, Misc. Geological Investigations, Land Use & Land Cover Maps, Misc. Field Studies Maps, Mineral Reserve, Oil & Gas Investigations Charts, Open File Reports, Oil & Gas Investigations Maps, River Surveys, Water Resource Investigations Maps, and Water Resource Investigation Reports.

Photoimage Map Series
Reed Library has USGS Satellite Image Maps for various regions of the United States at 1:250,000 scale and for Pakistan at 1:500,000 scale.

In addition, US Custom Service Color Image Border Maps for some of the Mexican/US border are available at 1:25,000 scale.

Reed Library also has a set of Earth Resources Technology Satellite (ERTS) maps covering the United States.

  The following USGS topographic, thematic, and photoimage map descriptions were taken from the USGS Web site: http://erg.usgs.gov/isb/pubs/booklets/usgsmaps/usgsmaps.html.
  
  

• USGS TOPOGRAPHICAL MAPS


Most USGS topographic maps use brown contours to show the shape and elevation of the terrain. Contour intervals vary, depending mainly on the type of terrain and the scale of the map. (Scale is the relationship between distance on the map and distance on the ground.)

The maps show and name prominent natural and cultural features. Those at scales of 1:24,000 (1 inch = 2,000 feet) show an area in detail. Such detail is useful for engineering, local area planning, and recreational purposes.

Less detail is shown at scales of 1:50,000 (1 centimeter = 0.5 kilometer) to 1:100,000 (1 centimeter = 1 kilometer). They cover larger areas and are used in land management and planning.

Maps at scales of 1:250,000 (1 inch = about 4 miles), 1:500,000 (1 inch = about 8 miles) , and 1:1,000,000 (1 inch = about 16 miles) cover very large areas on each sheet and are used in regional and statewide planning.

Most USGS map series divide the United States into quadrangles bounded by two lines of latitude and two lines of longitude. For example, a 7.5-minute map shows an area that spans 7.5 minutes of latitude and 7.5 minutes of longitude, and it is usually named after the most prominent feature in the quadrangle. Others show a whole area--a county, State, national park, or place of special interest.

7.5 Minute Maps (1:24,000 & 1:25,000 scale) The best known USGS maps are those of the 7.5-minute, 1:24,000-scale quadrangle series. A scale of 1:25,000 is used for maps based on metric units (1 centimeter = 0.25 kilometer). The area portrayed on each sheet ranges from 64 square miles at latitude 30 degrees north to 49 square miles at latitude 49 degrees north.

A scale of 1:24,000 allows considerable detail to be shown in the quadrangle areas. It takes about 57,000 maps to cover the conterminous 48 States, Hawaii, and territories. All of these maps are now for sale to the public. (For Alaska, 7.5-minute maps at 1:24,000 and 1:25,000 scale are available for areas around Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Prudhoe Bay.)

15 Minutes Maps (1:63,360 scale) The standard map series covering Alaska is the 15-minute, 1:63,360-scale (1 inch = 1 mile) quadrangle series, usually having dimensions of 15 minutes in latitude and from 20 to 36 minutes of longitude. The area portrayed on each sheet ranges from 207 to 280 square miles, depending on the latitude.

The features shown on 15-minute maps are generally the same as those shown on 7.5-minute maps, except that some may be generalized or omitted because of the smaller scale and consequent space restrictions. The sheet size is about 18 x 22 inches north of latitude 62 degrees and 17 x 27 inches south of that latitude.

About 97 percent of the 2,920 sheets covering Alaska at this scale are completed; the remaining 3 percent to be done are in the Aleutian Islands and the Bering Sea islands west of the mainland.

The 15-minute map series at a scale of 1:62,500 (1 inch = approximately 1 mile) has been abandoned. The USGS 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle map series is the official replacement for the 1:62,500-scales series.

1:100,000 scale series (30' x 60')

Virtually all of the conterminous United States and Hawaii are covered by 30 x 60 minute quadrangle maps at a scale of 1:100,000. Most of these maps are derived from 1:24,000-scale maps, but they show distances and contour intervals in meters. Contours are at intervals of 5, 10, 20, or 50 meters, depending on terrain relief. (Also see County Maps.)

Some 1:100,000-scale quadrangle maps are published in planimetric editions, without contours, Bureau of Land Management editions showing Surface Management Status and Surface Minerals Management Status are also available, primarily in the western States.

County Map Series (1:50,000 & 1:100,000 scale) A county map may consist of one or more sheets, depending on the size of the county. About 20 percent of the Nation's counties are covered, 10 percent at 1:50,000 and 10 percent at 1:100,00-scale.

1:50,000. County maps at this scale correspond closely in content to the 1:24,000-scale quadrangle maps. However, some county maps have contours in meters; these maps are also derived from the 1:24,000-scale maps.

1:100,000. Less detail is shown on these county maps because of space restrictions at the smaller scale.

1:250,000 scale series (1° x 2°) Maps in the 1:250,000-scale series are available for the entire United States. They were originated by the U.S. Army Map Service during the 1950's, but are now maintained by the USGS.

This series serves as base maps for aeronautical charts and geologic maps, for geographic reference, and in planning regional land use, transportation, and utility systems.

• USGS THEMATIC MAPS
  
  Antarctic (A) Maps are topographical ranging from 1:50,000 to 1:5,00,000 scale.
  
  The Coal Investigations (C) Series contains multicolor or black-and-white geologic maps that show bedrock geology, stratigraphy, and structural relations of selected coal resource areas of the Nation. The numbering of these maps began in 1950; a few unnumbered maps were produced as early as 1935.
  
  Each map has an explanatory text printed on the map margin or in a separate pamphlet. Maps also typically show cross sections, columnar sections, structure contours, and measured sections of coal zones.
  
  C Series maps cover quadrangles or irregularly shaped areas. The maps are plotted on topographic or planimetric bases at a variety of scales. The most common formats are individual 7.5-minute or 30- by 60-minute quadrangles.
  
  Geologic Maps use a combination of lines, symbols, and colors to show the composition and structure of earth materials and their distribution across and beneath the Earth's surface. They generally show bedrock formations like granite or limestone, surficial units such as sediment deposited by glaciers or rivers, and structures like folds and faults. Geologic maps can be used to identify geologic hazards, locate natural resources, and facilitate land-use planning.
  
  The USGS makes many kinds of geologic maps. These maps are available as single or multiple sheets, many of which are folded and placed in a paper jacket. Other geologic maps are enclosed in envelopes bound with USGS reports such as professional papers, bulletins, and water-supply papers. The texts of these reports contain descriptive and interpretive matter that supplements the information on the geologic maps.
  
  USGS geologic maps are typically plotted on topographic or planimetric bases. They range in scale from 1:20,000 to 1:2,500,000 depending on the type of information to be shown and the purpose of the map.
  
  USGS Geologic Map Indexes are a State-by-State summary of published geologic mapping by Federal, State, academic, professional, and other organizations.
  
  The Geologic Quadrangle (GQ) Series has more than 1,700 multicolor maps that show the bedrock, surficial, or engineering geology of selected 7.5- or 15-minute quadrangles in the United States. The series, begun in 1949, is a continuation of the earlier Folios of the Geologic Atlas of the United States (1894 to 1945).
  
  Each map is accompanied by an explanatory text printed on the map margin or occasionally as a separate pamphlet. Some maps include cross sections for clarity and to show relations at depth; some contain columnar sections describing stratigraphy; some maps show structure contours.
  
  Sheet size and projection depend on the base map on which the geology is plotted. The most common scale is 1:24,000; some are at 1:31,680, 1:62,500, or 1:63,360 (Alaska). Each map is folded and placed in a paper jacket.
  
  The Hydrologic Investigations Atlases (HA) Series contains either black-and-white or multicolor maps showing a wide range of water-resources information, such as depth to ground water, floods, irrigated acreage, producing aquifers, water availability, surface- water discharge, chemical or mineral content of water, surface impoundments, and water temperature.
  
  More than 700 hydrologic atlases have been published; most HA maps were prepared in cooperation with State, county, and municipal agencies. Maps vary in sheet size, number of sheets, and scale. Principal maps are most frequently presented at a scale of 1:24,000; however, much smaller scales are used for larger areas of study.
  
  The Miscellaneous Investigations (I) Series contains mostly multicolor maps covering diverse topical material such as bedrock and surficial geology, marine geology, mineral and energy resources, and geophysics and geochemistry. The series also includes maps of the Earth's Moon and other planetary bodies, hydrogeology, landforms, earthquake epicenters, map projections, and oblique-view maps.
  
  Maps cover both quadrangles and irregularly shaped areas and are usually shown on a topographic or planimetric base at a variety of scales and in a variety of formats. Many pre-1961 I Series maps are photogeologic maps that were compiled from aerial photographs with little or no field checking. Most maps have explanatory text printed on the map margin or in a separate pamphlet. A few are on multiple sheets.
  
  The Miscellaneous Field Studies (MF) Series contains more than 2,200 mostly black-and-white maps that cover nearly all aspects of USGS investigations and research. The series, begun in 1950, had been known earlier as the Mineral Investigations Field Studies Series. Pre-1971 maps show geology in relation to specific mining or mineral-deposit studies; later maps are on various subjects such as bedrock and surficial geology, offshore geology, mineral resource assessments, geophysical and geochemical surveys, and environmental studies. The maps are either the preliminary results of ongoing studies or the final results of studies that lack the scope necessary for the I and GQ Series. They are intended for rapid publication and are mostly author prepared.
  
  MF maps cover both quadrangles or irregularly shaped areas and are usually plotted on topographic or planimetric bases. Most maps are accompanied by a text on the map margin or in a separate pamphlet. Some are on multiple sheets.
  
  The Oil and Gas Investigations Charts (OC) Series and Maps (OM) Series show the subsurface structure and stratigraphy and surface geology of selected oil and gas fields and of other areas having hydrocarbon potential. They may be black and white or multicolor.
  
  Most maps and charts have an explanatory text printed on the margin or in a separate pamphlet. Some are on multiple sheets. Sheet sizes and projections vary. Each map or chart is folded and placed in a paper jacket.
  
  Charts generally consist of well logs, correlation diagrams, graphs, and tables. Some charts include seismic data or maps. Charts numbered 1 to 39 in the series are considered preliminary; those from number 40 onward carry the prefix OC.
  
  Maps each map is plotted on a topographic or planimetric base. Typically included are cross sections, columnar sections, correlation diagrams, and well logs. Maps numbered 1 to 109 in the series are designated preliminary; those from number 110 onward carry the prefix OM. Most maps in this series were published before 1965.

PHOTOIMAGE MAPS

Satellite Image Maps are multicolor or black-and-white photograph-like maps made from data collected by Earth resources satellites. They are a diverse group of experimental maps printed in a variety of scales and sizes, ranging from 1:24,000 for Point Loma, California, to 1:7,500,000 for the conterminous 48 States.

Most satellite image maps are printed to simulate color-infrared photography by combining imagery that was scanned in red, green, and infrared wave lengths of light. On color-infrared imagery, growing crops, grasses, and woodlands usually appear in shades of red; conifer forests in shades of reddish brown; clear water as dark blue or black; turbid water as light blue or gray; and cultural features such as cities and highways as steely blue-gray.

US Customs Service Color Image Maps cover the United States-Mexican border. 203 natural color photoimage maps at a scale of 1:25,000 have been printed, bracketing the U.S.-Mexico border and covering the entire international boundary from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico.

Earth Resource Technology Satellite Maps (ERTS) are a series of maps created by NASA, Goddard Space Flight Center, from a 1972 satellite flight and were produced in cooperation with the USDA Soil Conservation Service. They cover the United States and are divided up into 54 units.

DEFENSE MAPPING AGENCY MAPS

"The Defense Mapping Agency is charged with providing mapping, charting and geodetic support to the Department of Defense. This agency produces maps that are used for navigation, and provides geodetic support which is the science of determining the size and shape of the Earth, the precise positions of points on the Earth’s surface and variations in the pull of gravity—all of which are significant to modern weapons systems."(MC&G Mapping…Charting…Geodesy A Brief History of Military Mapmaking—and The First Decade of the Defense Mapping Agency. Washington, D.C. : Defense Mapping Agency, 1982.)

Reed Library has international DMA Maps that cover various sectors of European cities and parts of European countries including Canary Islands, Denmark, France, German, Italy, Madeira Islands, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Senegal, Spain, Sweden, and United Kingdom. These are all Joint Operation Graphic maps (1:250,000 scale) showing roads and topography.

In addition, there is a series of DMA Maps covering parts of the following states at 1:50,000 scale: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.

Locating Maps at Reed Library

Reed Library's Map Collection is located in a section of the reference area on the library's main floor. Maps are housed in flat map cases and file cabinets. The collection contains both cataloged and uncataloged maps. The cataloged maps include those with Library of Congress call numbers as well as those assigned local call numbers. To obtain a call number for a map, use the keyword search in the Talon Library Catalog. Cataloged maps can be found in the map cabinets and are arranged in call number order.

The uncataloged maps are arranged by map series and alphabetically by location within each series. The indexes for finding these maps are described below.

USGS TOPOGRAPHICAL MAPS
The 7 1/2 minute series (1:24,000 scale) and other topo maps are not cataloged. They are grouped by series and filed alphabetically by state and quadrangle name.

To determine the name of a quadrangle within a state, use that state's Index to Topographical and Other Map Coverage. These indexes are filed in Map Cabinet 21.

USGS THEMATIC MAPS
Selected USGS thematic maps for the four corners area can be found by searching in the Talon Library Catalog. All thematic maps are filed by their USGS classification number. The classification numbers are alphanumeric. An example of a classification number for a Hydologic Investigations Map is HA-760. MR-220 is an example of a Mineral Reserve Map classification number.

To find a USGS classification number, consult the Publications of the USGS Web site or consult the print volumes on the index shelf in the maps area Publications of the U.S. Geological Survey (Z1223 G34 1982). The Guide to USGS Publications (Z6028 G3 G84 1998), located on the index shelf in the maps area, can also be used to find thematic maps. Use the map locations listed below to determine the cabinet in which each type of thematic map is filed.

PHOTOIMAGE AND DEFENSE MAPPING AGENCY MAPS
Photoimage maps, including USGS Satellite Image maps, Earth Resources Technology Satellite (ERTS) maps , and U.S. Customs Service Border maps, and DMA (Defense Mapping Agency) maps are grouped by map type and filed alphabetically by region.

Index to 1:25,000 Scale US-Mexico Border Color Image Maps, G3701 A4 S25 G4, and Index to USGS/DMA 1:50,000 scale, 15-minute mapping, G3701 A2 1994 G4, are located on the index shelf. These maps are filed in Map Cabinet 20.

MAPS, INDEXES, AND ATLASES: LOCATING MATERIALS IN THE COLLECTION
Each map case, file cabinet, atlas stand, and book shelf in the Maps Collection has been assigned a number. The physical location (case or cabinet number) of each map series is noted below.
