The Soviet Union excelled at developing its power and energy resources, especially during the 1930s, while the petroleum and energy industries dominate the nation's economy today. Cataloged maps and atlases relating to the nation's power and energy industries are listed and described on the Library of Congress online catalog. Searches for these materials can involve a variety of terms, as in the following examples: "Power resources Soviet Union maps"; "Electric power Soviet Union maps"; "Power resources Former Soviet republics maps"; "Pipelines Former Soviet republics maps"; "Pipelines Caspian Sea region maps"; "Energy industries former Soviet republics maps"; "Electric power-plants Soviet Union maps"; and so forth.
A few uncataloged materials are listed below.
The division holds fourteen uncataloged maps illustrating power and energy resources in Russia and the former Soviet Union for the period 1934 to 1966. One is described below.
