Hello All,
  I have a curious cataloging/classification conundrum to pose.  On
Wednesday, I added some maps by F.V. Hayden to our Historic Map
Collection.  Some of these maps were taken from the _12th Annual
Report of the Geological & Geographical Survey of the Territories_,
which contained several maps for the entire Yellowstone Region, and
several maps of areas within Yellowstone (i.e. the Geyser Basins).
Technically, these should all be classified as Yellowstone maps (G
4262 Y4 Date Author Cutter).  Since the date and cartographer are the
same, they could all have the same call number.  Two of the maps are
a topographic map (the first contoured topographic map of Yellowstone
to be exact) and a geologic, so I can sub-cutter them by subject.
But that still leaves the general maps for the Upper and Lower Geyser
Basins with the same call number.  I would really like the option to
class all four maps together as Yellowstone maps, and subcutter with
a subregional cutter (for the Geyser basins).  I realize that this
isn't "legal" by the cataloging rules.  Any comments?  Linda Zellmer
