USGS Topographic Maps

The University of Connecticut Library Map and Geographic Information Center - MAGIC collections include a series of Connecticut digitized topographic maps. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) topoView website includes all of these maps plus historic to current topographic maps for the entire United States. This site provides the ability to search by location to locate USGS topographic maps at multiple scales and for multiple years for each location in the United States and provides the option to download each topographic map in GeoTIFF format.

 

USGS Historical Topographic Maps

The USGS also offers a national index of digitized historical topographic maps called topoView which allows you to search by location for historical topographic maps and to download the maps in JPEG, KMZ, GeoPDF, and GeoTIFF format. While these maps may not be as printer-friendly as the PDF Quads from National Geographic, the topoView interface provides nationwide access to historical topographic maps at a range of scales. A brief overview of the topoView interface is available on the Outside the Neatline blog.
