The number of maps received on depository will vary depending on what item
numbers the library has requested. The University of Georgia Libraries is a
regional depository and is suppose to get all maps. I am not sure from your
message if you are discussing only USGS maps or all federal depository maps.
Our accession figures will be slightly different from other collections
because I go through the new government documents and pull out maps for the
collection from non-map item numbers. Also our figures are based on a June -
June year because of local reporting deadlines.
Given all those warnings the short term answer is yes and the long term
answer is maybe. See the table below for the number of sheets the Map
Collection has acquired through depository agreements.
