-------- Original Message -------- Subject: RE: Official State Highway Maps Date: Tue, 5 Oct 2010 08:23:37 -0400 From: Grabach, Kenneth A. Mr. <[log in to unmask]> To: Maps, Air Photo, GIS Forum - Map Librarianship <[log in to unmask]> Thanks, David. My statement about the Indiana map was from experience this summer. At the welcome center southbound on I-69, they were distributing 2008 maps, and by request only. No supply was available to pick up. Then yesterday I noticed at the INDOT site, one could request the 2009-10 map, which I have done. Thanks for assistance with Florida. Regarding Connecticut, again, a colleague in that state picked up one for me at the welcome center near his home. I have had good experience with most states, and with most of the provinces of Canada, as well. The ones I named are the only holdouts in the States. The most irksome thing is that each holdout provides an online request form, and state the map is included along with a guidebook. They all allow a check box to not receive e-mails. I have received e-mails, and no maps from them!

We had an e-mail that Connecticut stopped with the 2007 issue. I'll check on the Florida maps in couple of weeks, when I stop at their welcome center and let you know.

Mr.<[log in to unmask]> To: Maps, Air Photo, GIS Forum - Map Librarianship <[log in to unmask]> So far as I know, the 2008 Indiana map is the latest one produced. For Connecticut, you may need to ask someone in the state to pick one up, they do not distribute theirs except at the information centers on the interstate highways. But if you have an informant, look as well for a very nice Connecticut farm map that covers farms, farm markets, community farmers' markets, and other agricultural retail trade and tourism. Finally, I have pending requests of more than 6 weeks duration (duplicated) for Alabama and California, and Florida. Not on your list, but also pending, are Wisconsin and Wyoming.

This is just one part of over 400,000 maps and aerial photographs we hold. We have a state of the art scanning facility in the Library and one of the leading Geography departments. We began this project with Alabama and have worked our way up to New Jersey at this point in time. DOTs were contacted last year, and large map collections this year, when attempting to "backfill" our official state highway map collections. We had some very interesting searches, by statewide networks, looking in automobile glove compartments, and chance encounters . We had great success with several states and none at all with others. Some states had, in the last 2 years, recycled all their old editions and some still had extensive stocks of maps on hand. What we would like to do is ask the list, from time to time, about official maps for states that we could not find. We know that we have back files of other state official and AAA highway maps that we would be willing to share. We also have many back editions of the South Carolina Official Transportation map that we can share. We know that many of these maps can be accessed online as PDFs, but we are working on our paper map collection. When this project is completed, we hope to link to those PDFs for maps that we are missing. This list is a little long. In the future I will do a state or two at a time. These are dates we are missing, some may be combined dates. i.e. 2000-2001, 1994-1996, etc. ALABAMA -- 2003, 2001, 1997 ALASKA --2001, 2009 ARKANSAS -- 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005 CALIFORNIA -- 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2009 COLORADO -- 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009 CONNECTICUT -- 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2009 DELAWARE -- 2000, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2009 GEORGIA -- 2002 HAWAII -- 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 IDAHO -- 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009 ILLINOIS -- 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008 INDIANA -- 2001, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008 KANSAS -- 2003, 2001 [1995 AAA] KENTUCKY -- 1989, 2001 LOUISIANA -- 2001, 2003, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010 [2000 , 1999 AAA] MAINE (TOURIST MAPS) -- 1999, 2001, 2004, 2008 MASSACHUSETTS -- 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 MICHIGAN -- 1998, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2004 MISSISSIPPI -- 2001, 2002, 2006 MISSOURI -- 2000, 2002, 2004, 2005-2006, 2008 MONTANA -- 2000, 2001, 2004, 2008 NEBRASKA -- 1998, 1999, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010 NEVADA -- 2001, 2003, 2006, 2008 NEW HAMPSHIRE -- 2002-2003, 2005-2006, 2009-2010 NEW JERSEY -- 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 Our holdings go back to the 1940s and in some cases the 1930s, so if you have older maps, they might be helpful as well. Thank you for taking the time to check. I have New York next and other large states like North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Texas, so this will be a long-term project. I hope, also, that this might awaken an interest in other states (provinces or countries) to complete their back files of certain paper maps so there is back-up for our growing and necessary digital collections.
