What I had done to resolve this is to use item records for each quadrangle, but not a bibliographic record for each sheet.  I used a bibliographic record for each state series, with item records attached for the quadrangles.  It allows for accounting for each of the sheets, without needing to clog the system with thousands of bibliographic records. The names and dates for each sheet are included in a volume field in the item record.

The model is a multi-volume work where each volume has a separate title, or a journal with numerous volumes and issues.

When I was at Evergreen, our cataloger did a recon at the sheet level for Washington State, Oregon, Montana, Alaska and Idaho.  So, if you see the ESC abbreviation on the record that's for The Evergreen State.

Please make good use of them.

Hello, I’m looking for library catalogs that have a bib record for each of the 50 states’ 7.5 minute topographic maps and have an item record for every sheet.  I’ve found PSU and Indiana so far.  Are there any more out there?
