Map cataloging is new to me, and there's still quite a bit of a learning curve for me. Do you know how I can access the S Table for Historic Geography? I'm not able to access it via the link you sent. (Could it be because of LC's downtime for this week?)

Here is a bit of online discussion, last updated 2009, mostly siding with the "date of situation," but allowing for both: http://www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~dbertuca/maps/cat/schedule_g.html and http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/class_g.pdf . From that latter link (LC): " The date in a map call number is always the date of the situation, except when a history (S+) cutter has been used, in which case the date in the call number is the date of publication."
