Some notes pertaining to 100 topographic maps illustrating landforms in USA, which was initiated by Henry Gannett (1846-1914) while chief geographer at USGS follow.  The first list was produced in 1907 and I'm certain the list changed over the years as the topographic mapping program produced better examples (has anyone traced this evolution?).

Don't know whether this helps or not.  In September 2010, I picked up the then brand new edition of the Geology of the National Parks published by Kendall Hunt.  I don't have my copy handy but I pretty well know what's in and out of the book and a good many of those maps are referenced.  My guess is somewhere around 1/2 of the sheets.  Hope this does help.

Just for the, well, record, OCLC 9960314 wasn't compiled by the University of Chicago but by Northern Illinois University (JNA).



The University of Chicago copy of the set includes an index map that doesn't mention the additional sheets that Brendan lists.

In doing some cleaning I uncovered some Highway maps of various counties in
Illinois.  I have all but about 35 of the 102 counties in Illinois.
Bradley would send the maps through the state delivery service to any
interested Illinois libraries.  If  out of state people are interested then
the cost of mailing would be up to the requesting library
Thanks
