The map collection consists of more than 38,000 maps, the majority of the maps are located on the 2nd (Main) floor of the library.  As a member of the Federal Depository Library Program, the library has received thousands of topographic maps from the U.S. Geological Survey, special datasets such as Landview, and geologic, nautical, and aeronautical maps.  The United States topographical maps are filed by state and then by quadrangle.  In addition, the Reference Department holds an extensive collection of atlases, CIA political maps, and the Louisiana soil surveys.
