Topographic Maps

If you need maps that show the topography of a region then this is a useful place to get started.

GeoMapApp is an earth science exploration and visualization application created by the Marine Geoscience Data System.

You can also find topographic maps, aerial photographs & topographic map data here.

Print maps

Most print geologic maps are located on the lower level of the Waidner-Spahr Library, though some are located in Kaufman. To find maps in the library, search in the catalog for your state and "geologic map".

While the library catalog does contain some entries for maps, most maps are not cataloged. Click here for instructions on locating maps. 

Please do not attempt to re-file maps once you have finished with them. Instead, simply place them on the refilling table and a student assistant will re-file them.

If you have any questions about locating a map please feel free to contact the Science Liaison Librarian, Nick Lonergan.
