Hi I would catalog this map as a single title and as a map series.
The date of situation would be replaced with a notation about scale.
eg. s___ in the call number. If there are two or more editions use
"Various ed. "  I use Paige Andrew's "Cataloging Sheet Maps" as my
final word when faced with map cataloging questions. Thank you Paige.
