Maps, Atlases and Gazetteers
The Maps Collection is composed of over 200,000 maps. Our collection also includes numerous atlases, gazetteers, other reference materials, and digital mapping products. The scope of the collection is worldwide but its holdings are primarily U.S. Federal Government products. We also collect selected map publications from state & international governments and commerical publishers. To find maps, please ask for assistance at the GovInfo reference desk (deering, level 1, phone: 847-491-3130) or contact the Map Librarian (c-maene).
