-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Looking for topographic maps of Great Abaco Island, Bahamas Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2009 16:59:49 -0700 From: Kollen, Chris <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Hi: I’m working with an architecture student who is doing his master’s project on an area in the Great Abaco Island in the Bahamas. He’s looking for fairly detailed topographic maps and possibly a nautical chart, although he’d go up 1:100,000 scale. When I did a search in WorldCat, I didn’t see anything smaller than 1:75,000. We have several maps of the Bahamas but not this island. There’s a map series on the Bahamas at 1:25,000 and there’s also a DMA nautical chart at 1:75,000. Is anyone willing to do an ILL loan or scan the map (he prefers a digital image). In WorldCat there’s a record for Bahamas, scale 1:25,000, Abaco and there are 27 maps. His area of interest is Marsh Harbor, so he wouldn’t need all 27 maps just the map or couple of maps that would cover this area. The nautical chart is chart no. 26321. We have the chart, but only the edition from 1920, the 9^th edition was published in 1995 and is titled: West Indies, the Bahamas, Abaco Island, Hope Town and approaches. The 1920 edition doesn’t go quite far enough north. He’s interested in any topographic maps up to 1:100,000 scale. Thanks for any help you can provide.
