The Lehi F. Hintze Geological Reconnaissance Maps of Oregon consist of geologic maps prepared and assembled by Hintze for much of the state of Oregon. Most of the maps are compilations of published geologic mapping, unpublished geologic mapping done by graduate students at Oregon State College and the University of Oregon, and mapping by Hintze. The maps in Series III are published geologic maps, many of which have been annotated by Hintze. The maps reflect geologic mapping done from the mid-1930s through the 1950s. Most of the maps are hand-colored and have copious annotations indicating the sources of the information or noting questions or corrections. Some of the maps include cross sections. The maps vary in scale from 1:24,000 to 1:400,000; most of the maps are 1:62,500 or 1:125,000 scale.
In addition to mapping done by Hintze, the maps document geologic mapping done by Edwin T. Hodge, W.D. Wilkinson, Howel Williams, William H. Taubeneck, and Robert G. Coleman.
More Extent Information: 117 maps; 1 oversize box and 1 map folder
Statement on Access: Collection is open for research.
Acquisition Note: The collection was transferred from the Oregon State University Libraries' maps collection to the Special Collections & Archives Research Center in 2013.
Related Materials: The Lehi F. Hintze Publications are available in the L. Tom Perry Special Collections at Brigham Young University. The Special Collections and Archives Research Center holdings include the Geosciences Department Records (RG 208) as well as the papers of several Oregon State geology faculty and alumni including the Ellen J. Moore Papers (MSS MooreE), George W. Moore Papers (MSS MooreGW); Roger L. Nielsen Papers (MSS Nielsen); Earl L. Packard Papers (MSS Packard); and the William H. Taubeneck Papers (MSS Taubeneck). Current geologic maps of Oregon are part of the Oregon State University Libraries general map collection.

Processing Information: Most of the maps were treated as a collection within the Map Room and were assigned the call number G4291 C5 [n.d.] O7. However, many of the maps in Series III had been assigned individual call numbers within the Storage Maps. These individually cataloged maps have been united with the other Hintze maps to form this collection.
