Rose Welton asked:
I have a geologic map on 3 sheets. The first sheet has the main map, the
2nd sheet has structural cross-sectional models, and the 3rd sheet has
surface soil & plant geochemistry plots. There are 13 numbered figures of
these plots, some of which are called "maps" in their individual titles.
My question is: do I count these small maps on the 3rd sheet as the total
number of maps in the 300a? Or should I just count the main map on sheet
1 and put a note on for the plots on sheet 3?
 
   Good! An opportunity for a big discussion on map cataloging! I'm
   sure everyone will have a different idea. Here's mine:
 
   300#f1#nmap on 3 sheets#bcol#h x w cm, on sheets h x w cm
   505/0 Includes cross sections and 13 ancillary maps
   [and, if you want to get specific:]
   505/1 Contents: [Sheet 1] {title of map} - [sheet 2] X structural
   cross-sections - [sheet 3] 13 soil chemistry and plant geochemistry
   plots
 
   Assuming, among other things, that sheets 2 and 3 couldn't stand
   alone.
 
   Other ideas? Curious to hear them
