Correct me if I'm wrong Chris, but an original input is the symbol in the first position in the 040 field? So, if "UPM" appears first in the 040 string it says that Penn State created the master record, any other symbols after that are other institutions (or even the same one) making some kind of change to the master record at a later date.

You can generate analogous numbers for any institution by doing a search on dt="map" and li:[CODE] in an "advanced" or "expert" search. OCLC says the correct code for the University of Texas at Arlington is IUA. A search on dt="map" and li:IUA yields 11261--but it's not July 15 any longer.

Or does it include figures for the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) and perhaps other University of Texas System locations? The figures 2010-2013 show a bulge in numbers that correlates with the number of original cartographic records that I contributed to OCLC during an intense cartographic digitization project for which I served as cataloger. If statistics are available separately for the University of Texas at Arlington, I’d be interested in knowing the numbers.

I've shared the numbers with some of you over the years, and I sent them to MAPS-L in 2007. It seemed time to share them again. The 2015 numbers are at http://www.lib.uchicago.edu/e/collections/maps/map_cataloging_stats_2005-2015.pdf If you're interested, you might want to check the MAPS-L archives for my comments on the statistics then, as well as other folks' observations. Briefly, these statistics are only a measure of libraries' success in getting records to OCLC. The numbers are heavily influenced by many factors, including, for example, how libraries treat sets. Institutions that "analyze" sets of topos, nautical charts, and flood insurance maps are going to be overrepresented in proportion to how much material they've actually cataloged. Libraries that don't even analyze monographic series (like the USGS I series) will be underrepresented. There are numerous other factors that affect these numbers. The table probably needs dozens of footnotes explaining odd figures. Also, please forgive my focus on big U.S. libraries. If I were to start compiling similar figures today, I'd certainly include more institutions. You should realize that I've been compiling these statistics for annual reports. They're as accurate as I could make them, but of course I wouldn't have been as inclined to gather these numbers together if they didn't make the University of Chicago Map Collection look good. Be cynical if you want. It's very unlikely by the way that we'll be adding anything like as many records in future years. There are now only a few pockets of uncataloged materials in the collection.
