Topographic atlas.

When, in 1882, the Geological survey was directed by law to make a geologic map of the United States, there was not in existence a suitable topographic map to serve as a base. The preparation of such a map was immediately begun. About one-third of the area of the country, excluding Alaska, has now been mapped. The map is published in altas sheets, each sheet representing a small quadrangular district. About 1,800 sheets have been engraved and printed. They are sold only by the United States geological survey, at 10 cents each or at 6 cents in lots of 50 or more. Descriptive circulars may be had on application.

See also Salisbury, R. D., and Atwood, W. W. Interpretation of topographic maps; 1908. 84 p. illus. 151 maps. 4°. (Interior dept. Geological survey. Professional paper 60) $2.75.

Geologic atlas of the United States.

Geologic.

Under the plan adopted for the preparation of a geologic map of the United States the entire area is divided into small quadrangles, bounded by certain meridians and parallels, and these quadrangles, which number several thousand, are separately surveyed and mapped. The unit of survey is also the unit of publication, and the maps and description of each quadrangle are issued in the form of a folio. When all the folios are completed they will constitute a geologic atlas of the United States.

A folio is designated by the name of a principal town or of a prominent natural feature within the quadrangle. It comprises topographic, geologic, economic, and structural maps of the quadrangle, and occasionally other illustrations, together with a general description. Each folio is about 20.6×17.6 inches in size. They are sold direct by the Geological survey, to whom orders for the local atlas should be addressed.

This map, or rather series of maps of the United States, explanatory of the parcel-post service is distributed to all the post offices of the country. It shows the whole country divided into 3,500 small oblong sections. All post offices located within one of these sections will require the same rate of postage on parcels. As there are 3,500 sections, there are 3,500 variations of the map. While the base map is the same in all cases, each one of the 3,500 sections becomes in its turn the center of a series of 8 numbered zones indicated by bright red lines printed across the black-andwhite face of the base map.

This map is sold by the Post office department, together with the explanatory guide, for 75 cents. Post route maps. These maps, which show the post routes and the location of the principal post-offices, do not show much detail in addition. The larger states are on two or four sheets, while two or three of the smaller states are grouped on a single sheet. They are sold only by the Disbursing clerk, Post-office department, at the uniform price of 80 cents a sheet.

Maps of those counties in which the rural delivery postal system is completely established are being issued by the Post office department. The maps are published in two forms, one giving simply the rural free delivery routes starting from a single given post office, sold at 10 cents; the other, the rural free delivery routes in an entire county, sold at 50 cents. In both forms, not only the rural route is given, but also roads, rivers, creeks, schools, churches, and even residences of people living along the lines of the routes; in fact, everything in the nature of a land-mark. They are on the uniform scale of an inch to a mile. Sun-print copies are produced in response to special calls, addressed to the Disbursing clerk, Post-office department. These maps should not be confused with the post route maps.

WORLD.

International map of the world, United States section.

The first sheet of this map designated as sheet north K 19, or the Boston sheet, including Rhode Island and portions of New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, and Nova Scotia has just been published. This world map, undertaken by agreement among the leading nations, is being prepared on a scale of 1 to 1,000,000; that is, 1 linear inch on the map represents 1,000,000 inches on the earth's surface, or nearly 16 miles. The map is to consist of about 1,500 sheets, covering all the land areas of the world, each sheet representing 4 degrees of latitude and 6 degrees of longitude. At the present rate of progress the United States portion will be finished within eight or ten years and when completed it will be about 16 feet in width.

The Geological survey states that there is no very accurate map of the United States as a whole. Many of the commercial maps now published are full of gross errors. This map is to be sold by the Geological survey at 40 cents a sheet.

As a preliminary to the issuance of the completed color sections of the map, the Survey is printing, in black and white, state maps on the scale of 1 to 500,000, being thus four times as large as the world map of the same area. Already such maps have been finished and printed for Vermont, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Mississippi, and Georgia, and a dozen others are in process of publication. These are sold by the Survey at various prices according to the size of the map. Penck, Albrecht.
