The same is true for Georgia - our county highway maps come from the Georgia
DOT & other states' sets were/are acquired as gifts.

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
