Something like digital elevation models, whether on CD or online, would be an appropriate candidate. That said, the "digital" aspect usually is not deemed as important as a topical component, so a given cataloger may opt to classify using a different subject code than A25 in their call number.

Would it be appropriate to use if the map you’re cataloging is an online resource? I’ve looked through bib. records in OCLC but haven’t found much to show a pattern. Thanks, Dennis Dennis G.
