Subject: Help with zoning maps

Hi all, I am very new at cataloging maps.  I have found some great print
and online resources to get me started, but I'm having trouble with a
group of zoning maps that I need to catalog.  In particular, I am
confused about the multitude of dates printed on the map.

For instance, each map has an "adopted" date, an "effective" date, and
then dates of any "amendments."  [no "publishing" date, per se.]  I have
looked at the records for already-cataloged zoning maps in our
collection, and it seems that the "adopted" date has been used as the
publishing date.  However, if this is correct practice, I'm not sure how
to create a new record reflecting the amendments on my maps in hand.
Are amendments considered editions?

I would greatly appreciate any thoughts you all might have.
