Single maps are those depicting all coverage on a single sheet, but may also include one map on two or more sheets. Theoretically, coverage can be at any scale. Single maps which have been acquired by the Geography and Map Division since 1968, as well as some acquired earlier, are individually cataloged and can be located by searching the Library of Congress online catalog. To find maps, do an Advanced Search, Add Limits, and under Type of Material, select Map.

Most single maps acquired in or before 1968 are included in the Title Collection, described on the following page.

This section presents a selection of cataloged single maps of Alaska, including maps of regions and cities and towns. Selected maps from the online map collections are highlighted in a gallery below.
