Wall Maps - 1970 |
||
The 1970 edition of the National Atlas of the United States of America®, published by the U.S. Geological Survey, is out of print. However, The Library of Congress has digitized and republished online all the maps from the 1970 edition of Atlas. Many maps from the 1970 edition of the Atlas have also been published as individual map sheets and are still available for purchase. Maps that span facing pages in the atlas are printed on one sheet. Maps dated after 1970 are either revisions of original National Atlas maps or new maps published in the original National Atlas format. |

These 1:2,000,000-scale (1 inch on the map equals approximately 31.5 miles on the ground) maps show roads; railroads; airfields; locations and names of cities; the extent of larger cities; international, State, and county boundaries and area names; water features; and major physical features. Also shown are National Parks, monuments, forests, wildlife refuges, and Indian reservations. State capitals and county seats are identified. Contours are not included. These maps have been designed so that each State is shown in its entirety on at least one sheet, with the exceptions of Alaska, California, Montana, and Texas. The complete set of sheets for the conterminous United States may be trimmed of overlap areas and mosaicked to form an approximately 92- by 57-inch composite map.
