Fellow map people:

We got I 19.76:97-52 The Digital geologic map of New Mexico in ARC/INFO
format on microfiche through the Federal Depository Program. There is a
record in OCLC (#50054160) for the microfiche that gives the details of a
map. When I look at the fiche, there's text including the coding scheme for
the polygon attributes but there's no map on the fiche itself. Would you
consider this a map or just text?

We've had discussions on cataloging cartographic data sets at the past two
ALAs but I don't think this meets the definition.

Thanks for any advice.
