ON THE BACK COVER
We have measured and documented virtually every square foot of our planet, not to mention the oceans and the heavens. Besides a profusion of road maps, there are aerial maps, geological maps, historical maps, weather maps, nautical maps, military maps, census maps, astronomical maps - the list is practically endless. The federal government alone has been creating maps for over 175 years, ever since Thomas Jefferson established the Survey of the Coast in 18O7. Over the years, Uncle Sam has become the world's most skilled cartographer, and one of the most prolific, distributing hundreds of millions of maps annually. The inventory of maps is so vast that no one has even managed to keep track of exactly how many maps exist. And there is no central directory to the types of maps available in this country.
The Map Catalog is the first comprehensive guide to this rich resource, providing in words and pictures information about the what, where, why and how much of maps. Featuring reproductions of representative maps, many of them in color, and background and ordering information, The Map Catalog is the definitive book about maps. Whether you want maps of airports or zip codes, highways, hurricanes or hidden treasure, The Map Catalog is the book for you.
