Maps

Note: The information below is taken directly from the UNT Government Documents Department's web page on maps and mapping. 

"The UNT Libraries' Map Collection, which contains some of the Libraries' maps, atlases, and posters, is housed in the Government Documents Department on the 3rd Floor of Willis Library. A few maps are listed in the UNT Library Catalog, but many are not. If you want to know if we have a map, or if you want someone to retrieve a map for you, ask for assistance at the Government Documents Service Desk on the 3rd Floor of Willis Library. Always check the publication date when you use a map or atlas. The world's borders change often these days, so the maps we have are not always up to date."
