Those for which I have no number are items not in my collection.  If I had
them in the collection, and did not have a number, I would have created a
number and applied an additional character at the end, an 'x' for example,
to indicate that it was not created by GPO.  There seem to be several from
the late 60s and the 70s that did not get into the GPO depository program,
but did go into public circulation.  In some cases, the Documents
Expediting Service of Library of Congress seems to have acquired maps that
GPO did not.  In the cases I have seen, LC does not give a SuDoc # for the
map.

While I use the LC class as the call number, it is still useful to have
the SuDoc for an additional point of retrieval (especially for my own work
with them), and so I take the expedient of creating my own numbers when
necessary, and add the extra character.
