GREAT MAP FACTORY.
Enormous Number Turned Out BY &C.
illogical Survey.

The greatest official map-making es-
adjustment in the country at present
is the United States Geological Survey.
In constructing the huge topographic
and geologic maps Of the United States
every detail of the work is done by the
Survey. from the work OF the topog-
raphers who make the maps in the
field down through the various stages
of drafting, lettering editing, ongrav-

vey maps; they are based on surveys
made on the ground. and the office
work consists simply in putting them
into form for issuance to the public
They depict most faithfully the char
.acteristics of the areas surveyed.
Every year with the coming of the
open field season numerous Survey
parties hurry away from the Washing
ton Office to the four quarters of the
United States. as well as to Alaska
and the result of their seasons work
is the topographic and geologic map
ping of tens of thousands of square
miles of all sorts of country ranging
from the most forbidding swamps and
morasses TO the lofticst of the glacier
covered mountains Of the Rockies and
the high Sierra. and including the
most valuable mineral deposits of the
nation. While these parties are thus
traversing untrodden fields. the Sur
vey engraving and printing plant
throughout the summer and i'm fact
through all the year, is turning out
hundreds of thousands of copies Of
field work, In a single midsummer
month this year the Survey plant
printed 102,404 topographic maps
5,345 geologic folios. each containing
many maps. and 111,170 copies of
other geologic maps. charts etc. Be
sides its own maps a great number of
maps are also printed by the Survey
engraving division for other branches
ard departments of the Government.
stephen ]. Kiibel, chief engraver, has
run this extensive engraving and
printing plant under the Director of
the Geological Survey for the past %
years. Years ago he instituted an
almost exact cost keeping system
which has enabled him to enter into
close competitive bidding on some of
the Government contract work and to
run the engraving plant on thoroughly
up date business lines.
Most of the maps are printed I'm coll

ate printngs or impressions was l.
2S7,6O9. The geologic map of North
America. which is now being printed
i'm four sheets, shows AZ different color
and pattern distinctions. Each sheet
requires 20 separate prlntings. and
the 1900 copies of the southwest sheet
of this map printed during the month
necessitated PA, 1000 printings. The to-
tai edition of 1900 copies of the COM
plete map has required 100000 print
