TOEOGRAPHIC MAP OF THE UNITED STATES. 



When, in 1882, the Geological Survey was directed by law to make a geologic map of the United 

 States there was in existence do suitable topographic map to servo as a base for the geologic map. 

 The preparation of such a topographic map was therefore immediately l)egnn. About one-fifth of the 

 area of the country, excluding Alaska, has now been thus mapped. The ma)) is published in atlas 

 sheets, each sheet representing a small i|uadrangular district, .'is explained under the next head- 

 ing. The separate sheets are sold at 5 cents each when fewer than 100 copies are purchased, but when 

 they are ordered in lots of 100 or more copies, whether of the same sheet or of dirt'erent sheets, the 

 price is 2 cents each. The mapped areas are widely scattered, nearly every State being represented. 

 About 900 sheets have l)eeii engraved an<l printed; they are taliulated by States iu the Survey's 

 "List of Publications," a pamplilet which may be had on application. 



The map sheets represent a great variety of topographic features, and with the aid of descriptive 

 text they can be used to illustrate typographic forms. This has led to tho jMojectiou of an educational 

 series of topognaphic folios, for use wherever geography is taught m high schools, academies, and 

 colleges. Of this series the first folio has been issued, viz: 



1. Physiographic types, by Henry (iannett, 1898, folio, consisting of the following sheets and 4 

 pages of descriptive text: Fargo (N. D.ak.-.Miun.), a region in youth; Ch.arleston (W.A'a.),a region in 

 maturity ; Caldwell ( Ivans, i, a region in old age ; Palmyra ( Va. ), a rejuvenated region ; Mount Shasta, 

 (Cal. ), a young volcanic mountain ; Eagle ( Wis.), moraines ; Sun Prairie ( Wis. ), drumlins ; Donaldson- 

 ville(La.'). river II 1 plains; Boothbay (Me.), a fiord coast; Atlantic City (N. ,1.), a barrier-beach coast. 



2. Physiographic types, by Henry Gannett, 1900, folio, consisting of the following sheets and 11 

 pages of descriptive test: Norfolk (Va.-N. C), a coast swamp; Marshall (Mo.), a graded river;
