Introduction

Any cartobibliography that is not limited by time frame is never truly completed, and this one is no exception. I began work on in it in 1984 or thereabouts, when I was the Map Librarian at the Arthur Lakes Library, Colorado School of Mines, Golden, and where about 90 percent of the reference questions I answered were on geologic maps. I have been working on it off and on ever since - most recently with the assistance of two research grants from the Librarians Association of the University of California - and have finally reached the point where I realize I've done what I can, given the time I have available, and the fact that the collection with which I work now has relatively few geologic maps. Even with all that time and effort, there are still many question marks throughout the index.

I am therefore issuing this on the Web, for scholarly and research purposes. I would be most happy to receive any additions and corrections; I would especially be interested in receiving Web-site addresses of specific maps that are listed in the cartobibliography.

UNITED STATES

NOTE: In 1996, the National Geologic Map Database came up at:

http://wwwflag.wr.usgs.gov/ngmdb/

It is planned that it will include a catalog of bibliographic records, digital maps and data, a description of current mapping projects, and a list of recently published earth-science maps and data.

____. 19 - . Geologic map index of [state]. Washington; Reston. Scales differ.

Maps indexed in this series must satisfy the following criteria:

1. Map must be published; no theses, dissertations, State-agency open-file reports, or unpublished maps are indexed. USGS Open-File Reports are indexed.

2. Map must show geologic units and explain them in terms of lithology and stratigraphy.

3. Map must be more detailed than the primary State geologic maps, which are usually are 1:250,000 or 1:500,000 scale.

4. Map must be an original compilation, not a generalized version or re-use of a previously published map.

5. Map must have scale and good geographic control (such as latitude and lognitude, township and range lines, good base map, or index map showing precise outline of area mapped).

NOTE: An important scale for U.S. mapping is 1:250,000. Several states - e.g., California; Idaho; Minnesota - have adopted it for the state-geologic-atlas scale. USGS has done considerable mapping at this scale, as did the NURE program. Below are listed, by 1:250,000-scale quadrangle name, the relevant series number.
