     A variation on April's suggestion:
     With a 300 that says 1 map on 3 sheets, have a formatted contents
     note, 505 0, that gives contents of each sheet with the formal title
     for each sheet that has one (such as the title of the main map for the
     sheet that contains the main map), and for any sheets that lack formal
     titles, make up a title (such as April's descriptions) and put them in
     square brackets.
 
     Another possibility:
     Put 1 map in 300 subfield a, with the dimensions of that one main map
     in subfield c, and have a subfield e for accompanying sheets, and a
     general 500 note summarizing the contents of the accompanying sheets.
 
     In either case, I am in agreement with April to catalog the main map
     and just summarize the information about the other maps.  I wonder if
     geology librarians tend to feel that it's important to put emphasis on
     the other maps as well.

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
