The University of Toledo

Carlson Library Map Collection

The Map Collection consists of sheet maps and atlases.  These maps are for reference use, and therefore do not circulate. However, exceptions may be made for items to be used briefly in the classroom or for projects of short duration. For more information, contact the Social Sciences Librarian.

Location

The Map Collection is located on the east side of the third floorof Carlson Library.

Arrangement

Maps are arranged by Library of Congress classification numbers. 

Most of the collection consists of topographic maps (showing contours and elevation) for the Great Lakes states (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, as well at the Canadian province of Ontario). These are arranged in drawers by call numbers that group states by geographic region, with the maps filed alphabetically by quadrangle name.  An index is included in each drawer.

Atlases are on stands in the Collection.

Finding

See the How do I Find Maps page for more information about finding maps in the UT Library Catalog, through the Research Databases, and on the Internet.
