> The University of Wisconsin-Platteville, a selective depository

> have been folded and stored in 8.5 x 11 inch envelopes. The
> UW-Platteville historically has had a strong emphasis on mining and
> engineering, so many of the maps may relate to those fields.

> I’m not a map librarian, nor is the librarian at UW-Platteville, so

> for most of the maps (if that is helpful at all).
