Maps

Use the links on this page to find electronic maps online as well as maps in print at the Weston Observatory.  Maps at Weston are in the process of being catalogued;  the vast majority of them do not have records in Quest at this time.  Contact the Geology Subject Librarian to inquire about specific print maps.

 

Finding Maps Online

  • National Geologic Map Database  
      
    Access to thousands of maps from the USGS, Stage Geological Agencies, and other sources. Also access to the Lexicon of Geologic Names of the United States.
  • The National Map  
      
    GIS data from government agencies and other partners, overlaying the standard topographic series maps of the USGS. This online resource is currently in its early stages and will include many other types of data in the future.

Finding Maps in Print

To look up a map in Quest, go to Quest, choose "advanced search" and maps under "format."  Then search by keyword.  You can limit location to Weston or O'Neill Library.  Keep in mind that most of the maps at Weston are not catalogued, so please contact the Geology Librarian if you need to find a map but it is not in Quest.
