TOPOGRAPHIC 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 no suitable topographic map to serve as a base for the geologic map. 
The preparation of such a topographic map was therefore immediately begun. About one-fifth of the 
area of the country, excluding Alaska, has now been thus mapped. The map is published in atlas 
sheets, each sheet representing a small quadrangular district, as explained under the following 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 different sheets, the 
price is 2 cents each. The mapped areas are widely Scattered, nearly every State being represented. 
More than 800 sheets have been engraved and printed; they are tabulated by States in the Survey’s 
“List of Publications,” a pamphlet which may be had on application,
