The Tobin International Geological Map Collection consists of more than 47,000 maps, atlases and map texts on geology and related subjects worldwide, but is particularly strong in maps of Texas and select U.S. and foreign areas of geologic interest to UT geologists.

To search Library Catalog for printed maps:

Search for your geographic area of interest
Then use the limiters along to the left and choose: Resource Type = Maps
If the map you need is in our storage facility, use the "Get It" link to have it brought to campus for you

Many books and reports in our collections also contain maps. To find those, do not use the Resource Type = Maps limiter. Simply looks for items that are a topical match, and review the catalog record to see if the item includes maps....
