Records for the Historic Maps of Indiana database were created by staff in the Geography and Map Library and staff hired under the Indiana Heritiage Research Grant, from the Indiana Humanities Council and the Indiana Historical Society. Maps were selected if they contained geographic coverage of all or any part of the state of Indiana, including county, city, regional maps.
Geography and Map Library Map Collection (uncataloged). Emphasis was given to maps dating before 1950. Emphasis was given to flat sheet maps; maps that have been published in reports and other publications will be added as time permits.
The database does include maps of Indiana which were published as part of the U.S. Congressinal Serial Set. For a separate listing of these see Maps of Indiana found in the U.S. Congressional Serial Set
