The call number G3730 that you picked for your 1815 map of Maine is the
number for general maps of Maine.  So all you'd need after the date is the
author cutter for Moses Greenleaf. You could keep this call number and make
added subject headings to bring out the features you list.  For instance,
you could use the headings "Maine--Roads--Maps" and "Maine--Adminsitrative
and political divisions--Maps" in addition to the more general
"Maine--Maps."  If you wanted to base the call number on one of the more
specfic headings, then the class number would start with G3731, meaning maps
of Maine with a specific subject focus. If you choose roads as the first
subject heading, your call number would be G3731.P2 1815 and author cutter.
If the administrative and political divisions headings is your first
subject, the number would be G3731.F7 1815 and the author cutter.

HI- I am a cartographic cataloger at the Osher Map Library at the
University of Southern Maine, Portland campus. I catalogued a map
by Moses Greenleaf who presented it to the Massachusetts
Legislature in 1815. Greenleaf was for Maine statehood and we
believe the map was a promotion for that. I have some questions
about the call number, specifically the subject subdivision. I have so
far G 3730 1815 but what after that? The map shows boundaries,
county lines, roads and the five counties. The boundary lines are
outlined in yellow. It's a very detailed map. I am not sure of the
subdivision. Any ideas? Thanks very much! Roberta Ransley, Osher
