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.
