Uncataloged Maps

A large part of the map collection remains “uncataloged" and so there are no online records for them available. These maps are filed according to an area code system that assigns numbers to continents, countries and selected other geographical features. We have adopted a modified version of the area code system used by the library of the American Geographical Society to organize our holdings.

The first line of the call number contains the "area code" number and sometimes a small letter to denote the following.

b	denotes that this map is part of a topographical map series
c	denotes that this is a regional map
d	denotes that this is a map of a city or town

For example, something beginning 831-d would be a city map.
NOTE: Maps are filed by the order listed in the chart.

The next line contains a capital letter indicating a subject division.

A	denotes PHYSICAL, maps representing relief, bathymetry, geomorphology, glaciology, functional regions
B	denotes HISTORICAL and POLITICAL, maps showing political divisions, administrative, historic sites, archaeology, explorations, outline maps
C	denotes POPULATION, maps representing vital statistics and other activities related to population, census, disease, ethnology, tribes, culture, education, religion, sanitation
D	denotes TRANSPORTATION and COMMUNICATION, maps showing roads, airways, railways, and other types of transportation. Also maps showing other media of communication such as radio, television, telephone, radar
E	denotes ECONOMIC, maps dealing with natural resources, minerals, forestry, fishing, thermal energy, recreation areas, national parks, conservation, agriculture, vegetation, land use, land tenure, trade, finance
F	denotes GEOPHYSICS, maps showing earthquakes, seismology, volcanoes, terrestrial magnetism, radiation
G	denotes GEOLOGY, maps dealing with general geology, tectonics, soils, paleogeography, petrology
H	denotes HYDROLOGY, maps showing water, its composition, distribution, and use
I	denotes METEOROLOGY and CLIMATOLOGY, maps showing distribution of climates, temperature, precipitation, winds, hurricanes, barometric pressure
J	denotes MATHEMATICAL, maps representing projections, time zones, surveys, mapping, globe gores, aerial photography
K	denotes ASTRONOMY, maps showing the position of planets and stars
L	denotes ZOOGEOGRAPHY, maps showing distribution of animals, insects, fish, and their diseases
M	denotes MISCELLANEOUS, including pictorial maps, cartoons, advertisements, treasure maps, tapestries, block diagrams

After the letter usually comes the year the map was made. The third line would contain the name of the subregion. So, keeping with our example, a map with call number:

831-d
C-1986
Bloomington

would be of Indiana, a city therein, a map of population information made in 1986 and the city would be Bloomington.
