I agree.  We are a regional depository.  We obtained our sets of county highway maps from state highway departments, not on deposit.

If Utah's equivalent is any indication, these are state publications.  We acquired our "General Highway Map" sets by either gift or purchase, from the state highway department.  I'd suppose yours are in the same category and not depository items.

In our collection, for at least three states, we have sets of detailed county highway maps published in the late 1960s and early 1970s.  In each case, the publisher was the particular state's highway or road department, in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration.

As far as I can tell, the sets that we hold were never marked locally in any way, so I don't know if these sets were official FDLP items.  In other words, as a regional depository, am I obliged to keep them?  My regional librarian colleague is checking on this via other avenues, so I thought I would ask all of you.

Does anyone have any information of these sets?  Thank you.

Robert
