Series 2: Earth Sciences Maps, 1911-2000 Add to Shelf

Series II consists of maps depicting the geology, soils, hydrology, and geophysics of Oregon. The bulk of the geologic maps were prepared in the 1940s-1970s during the years preceding, during, and immediately following the development of the scientific theory of plate tectonics. Most of the maps were published by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) or the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI). Some of the maps are for the full state; others are for counties, regions, or quandrangles. Most of the geology and soil maps are published in color with color-coded descriptions of the geologic units or soils. Some include narrative descriptions of the geologic history or soils of the depicted area. The USGS maps were published in several different series including Miscellaneous Geologic Investigation Maps (I- series); Miscellaneous Field Studies Maps (MF- series); Oil and Gas Investigations Maps (OM- series); Geological Quadrangle Maps (GQ- series); and the Hydrologic Investigations Atlas (HA- series). The soils maps were prepared by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (Soil Conservation Service and Bureau of Soils) in cooperation with the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station. The series includes several maps by George W. Walker, Francis G. Wells, Ewart M. Baldwin, T.P. Thayer, Ray C. Treasher, Edwin T. Hodge, and James H. Robinson.

Series 6: City Maps, 1866-1994 Add to Shelf

Series VI consists of maps of cities and towns in Oregon, primarily street maps. About half of the maps in this series are of Portland or the Portland metropolitan area. Pictorial maps, campus guides, and tourist maps are also part of the series. Most of the maps were created in the 1920s-1970s. Several original maps prepared in the 1890s-1910s are included, however, some of the earliest maps are reproductions produced by the Oregon Historical Society in the 1960s-1970s. Most of the street maps include indexes and prominent sites such as parks, schools, public buildings, and shops. Descriptive information about the landmarks and history of the communities, as well as advertisements, are included on some maps. The series includes campus guides for the University of Oregon in Eugene and the University of Oregon Medical School (now Oregon Health Sciences University) in Portland. The city maps were prepared and published by city and county governments, local chambers of commerce, individuals, and map companies. The maps are arranged alphabetically by city and there-under chronologically. Maps of Corvallis are in a separate collection of maps of Corvallis and Benton County.
