Maps are powerful tools that help us navigate and understand the world around us. From simple roadmaps to detailed topographic surveys and thematic maps, cartography—the art and science of mapmaking—has been central to human exploration, planning, and knowledge for centuries. Today, maps are essential in a wide range of disciplines, including geography, history, urban planning, environmental science, and more.
This guide is designed to introduce you to the rich variety of maps and cartographic resources available through our library. Whether you are a student, faculty member, or researcher, this guide will help you access maps in a variety of formats, from printed maps to digital and interactive resources.
