Map Collection

A Map Collection is a curated group of maps that display geographic information for specific regions, topics, or purposes. Think of it as a library of visual representations of Earth's surface—such as city layouts, topography, or historical maps—that researchers, planners, and enthusiasts can access for analysis, comparison, or reference. These collections help users understand spatial relationships, track changes over time, and make informed decisions based on geographic data. They can be physical archives or digital databases, often organized for easy retrieval and detailed study.
