Find maps
Our physical map collection is located on the 1st floor of the Main Library. You can also access online maps from our catalog.
You can also:
Advanced map search
You can also use advanced library search to find maps.
- Go to the advanced library search
- Under "Material Type," select "Maps"
- Type your keywords in the search box
- Select the search icon
Include keywords for both the geographic region and the type of map (e.g. topographic map, geologic map, road map) you need.
Example keywords:
- Arizona physical maps
- New Mexico topographic maps
- Pima County remote sensing maps
- Mexico vegetation maps
Finding maps at a particular scale
Map scales are usually given in the catalog as a representative fraction, such as 1:100,000 (see map scale). A map series for a larger area may include the area you are interested in; so be sure to check for maps of larger areas such as countries or continents.
