Thematic Maps

|
Thematic maps describe a specific topic, or theme. The Map Collection includes thematic maps for all parts of the world. Types of thematic maps include geologic, nautical, ethnolinguistic, water resources, landforms, and population. For Western New York, thematic maps provide comprehensive coverage of geology, wetlands, recreation, historical plans, land use, soils, and nautical charts. To find a particular thematic map, use the UB Libraries catalog to retrieve its call number, and then use the floor plan to find that call number in the map cases. Additional examples of thematic maps are on the page: Maps Featured in News and Journal Articles. |
