Series: 3. Maps, circa 1918-1969
Scope and Content Note: This series contains about 30 oversize folders with numerous maps produced by the AGS Map Department. It is primarily composed of printed maps, with some containing annotations, but there a few manuscript maps too. Examples include sheets from the Millionth Map of Hispanic America, the World 1:5,000,000, and the Americas 1:5,000,000. Maps used in publications such as the Atlas of Disease and the Serial Atlas of the Marine Environment are present as well. Some of the maps are in various stages of completion, from blank projections to proofs. A few of the maps may have been produced for the Inquiry and used at the Paris Peace Conference after World War I. For more information or to view the maps, please see a staff member.
