SHEET SIZE RANGES FROM ABOUT 21 X 17 TO 61 X 46 INCHES

GEOLOGIC MAPS - GEOLOGIC MAPS USE A COMBIMATION OF LINES, SYMBOLS AND COLORS TO SHOW THE COMPOSITION AND STRUCTURE OF EARTH MATERIALS AND THEIR DISTRIBUTION ACROSS AND BENEATH THE EARTH'S SURFACE.

MAPS OF THE PLANETS AND MOONS - THESE MAPS WERE PRODUCED IN CONJUNCTION WITH NASA TO SUPPORT LUNAR AND PLANETARY EXPLORATION. A PRIME ACTIVITY OF THE PROGRAM WAS THE SYSTEMATIC MAPPING OF THE STRATIGRAPHY AND STRUCTURE OF THE MOON, MARS, VENUS, MERCURY AND THE MOONS OF THE OUTER PLANETS, JUPITER AND SATURN. THESE MAPS INCLUDE GEOLOGIC, TOPOGRAPHIC, PHOTOMOSAIC AND SHADED RELIEF MAPS. THE SCALES, PROJECTIONS AND SHEET SIZES OF THESE MAPS VARY WIDELY.
