Strozier Library Map Collections

Strozier's Sheet Map Collection is divided into five different sections, each of which is described below. Check out the Cabinet Guide to see where each kind of map is kept.

1. Subject Maps
Strozier's Subject Map collection covers a wide variety of items. While it includes basic maps showing political boundaries and geographical features, it also contains maps dedicated to specific subjects, such as the locations of natural resources and where certain languages are spoken.

2. Historical Maps
Strozier's Historical Map collection is comprised of maps created before 1920. The collection includes original printed items as well duplications, and features materials such as world maps from the Age of Exploration up through Railroad Maps from the late nineteenth century.

3. Nautical/Hydrological Maps
Strozier's Hydrological and Nautical Map Collection includes historic and recent documents from the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), as well as other navigational charts which show sea depths and ocean currents. Many of NOAA's current charts are also available online.

4. Army Map Service (AMS) Maps
Strozier has a wide selection of maps created by the Department of Defense, including documents from the Army Map Service (AMS), the Defense Mapping Agency (DMA), and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA).

Many of these maps are available online from the University of Texas at Austin.
