Geological Maps

The Map Collection holds about 10,000 geological maps, as well as atlases and digital materials. Most geological maps and atlases are interfiled with other materials in the Map Collection. Geological maps are almost all cataloged on STARS.

U.S.G.S. maps in folio envelopes are shelved by series in the file cabinets near the study area at the far end of the Map Collection. These maps are cataloged and arranged by series number.

Several hundred CD-ROMs containing geological information are housed behind the Information Desk of the Science and Engineering Library.These include Geology of the Conterminous United States, and 1:250,000 scale geological maps of New York State (both surface and bedrock geology). Topographic maps, and numerous specialized map data files from the U.S.G.S. are also available. Most can be located through STARS.
