The Maryland Geological Survey, of
which DIR. William Bullock Clark is
superintendent and chief geologist, and
Mr.. Walter G. Crosby is chief engineer,
has just issueda new mapof Maryland.
Six different colors are used to set off
the counties. The map is based on sur
veys made in cooperation with the
United States Geological Survey. 1t
shows distinctly all railroads traversing
the State, as well as the routes of all
the steamboat lines and the different
streams. The different districts of each
county are also marked off. In addition
the map contains gazetteer of all the
cities, towns and villages. in Maryland,
showing the elevation and population
of each.
Besides the large map there are five
small ones. One of these shows the
different Congressional districts of the
State. another shows the photographic
provinces, another the mean annual tenn
perature and the annual precipitation,
and still another shows the geological
formation Of the different localities.
There is also ward map Of Baltimore
city.
An interesting point in connection
with the new map is the fact that Mary
land is the first State in the Union to
issue one OF its character. All over the
country the different States are working
in conjunction with the United States
Geological Survey in an effort topublish
maps similar to the one just issued by
the Maryland Geological Survey.
