Maps
The Harvard Map Collection contains one of the world’s finest collections of maps. Although their atlases are in HOLLIS, many of their individual maps are not. So a visit is useful. As well as political and topographic maps, they have numerous thematic maps which map demographic, social, and economic other features.
