Map Collection

EARTH SCIENCES MAP COLLECTION (ROOM 204)

The collection consists of Australian maps with a strong geological emphasis, as well as topographic maps at several scales, and air photomaps.

Maps are divided by state or territory, map type, and scale. They are filed in alphabetical order within each drawer. There are duplicate copies of some popular maps.

Some maps are old and/or extremely fragile. Please take care with them all.
