Maps, Geographical and Geological Resources

You may identify items in the Map Collection by using the Library and Archives' online catalog and selecting "maps" as the location, but you must use the materials in the Polly Rosenbaum State Archives and History Building. The building is located at 1901 W. Madison Street in Phoenix, near the State Capitol. Selected maps have been digitized and have been made available through the Arizona Memory Project, for example, see: Historic Arizona County Road Maps. The following are Arizona state agency, federal, or other selected maps, geographical and geological resources which are available on the Web.
