Over the decades our Museum has acquired a large collection of topographic maps and map cabinets, but with the imminent move to our new collections facility, we are seeking to downsize our collections. We will begin downsizing these collections on January 15th, 2014. Our maps are catalogued, inventoried, and housed in cabinets that are also available for donation. The maps span the 50 U.S. states, and include 7.5’ (1:24,000), 15’ (1:62,500), 30’ (1:125,000), 30’x60’ (1:100,000) and 1⁰x2⁰ (1:250,000) maps. We also have a limited number of national park, Canadian and Antarctica maps. Many of the 15’ and 30’ maps are antiques in of themselves, dating back to pre-1920. We have detailed listings of U.S. maps (by map name, latitude/longitude and publication years). The map cabinets measure 40¾” (L) x 28¾” (W) x 17½” (H) and have 3 or 4 drawers. If you or one of your colleagues is interested in these maps, please let me know which states you may have interest in. Please feel free to forward my message if you know someone who might be interested. Thank you for your consideration.
