E-News @ Your Library: Topographic Maps

Topographic maps are now at your fingertips thanks to the award-winning TOPO! mapping software available for use on the Info Commons computers in the Geology-Mathematics-Physics Library.

With TOPO! users can seamlessly scroll across maps of entire states and regions with five layers of map detail, including 1:24,000 and 1:100,000 scale topographic maps. This collection draws from the best United States Geological Survey and National Geographic maps available. The TOPO! Software also makes it easy to create the perfect map. Users can zoom through different map series that show increasing levels of detail; add custom text, symbols, and routes to the maps; and select the exact area needed and print a custom, photo-quality map.

This new service was made possible by a collaboration of the Geology Department and University Libraries and special funding from the Geology Department.
