See http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/cartographic4.pdf. There was a reminder about this on Maps-L a while back, but I have to admit that your message was what really reminded me. (Thank you!) So for your map, for example, I believe you would use 651 0 Nova Scotia $v Maps.. and 655 0 Tourist maps. About the conflicting information you are getting, perhaps that is because it will take OCLC and local systems a while to completely implement this change and get all the established headings in harmony with it.

While doing some subject authority checking on a new edition of a tourist map of Nova Scotia, I am getting some conflicting information on the subject heading and form subdivision. Authority records appear for various places, with subdivision, Maps, Tourist. I can control the authority for Nova Scotia Maps, but not for the one I have been using. Some conflicting information shows up when searching authority records for Tourism, Maps, and for Tourist maps. Can anyone shed light on this?
