The map collection at the DeGolyer holds over 3,000 maps, dating from the 16th century through the 20th century. Strengths include maps of North American and the American West. Featured mapmakers include Nicolas Sanson, Guillaume DeLisle, John Mitchell, and J.H. Colton. Maps found in our rare books include significant examples of the mapmaking art, such as a Ptolemy from 1561 and the Turgot plan of Paris from 1739. Early American maps range from the depictions by 16th-century explorers to 19th-century county atlases. We also hold guide books from the 19th and 20th centuries, and hundreds of 20th-century road maps issued by oil companies and state tourist agencies.
