USGS Geography Bulletins, Open-File Reports, Professional Papers, Research Proposals

The Geography Program provides printed and digital information on the mapping sciences.

	For more information on these print publications or for ordering assistance, call 1-888-ASK-USGS (1-888-275-8747), or visit the ask.usgs.gov Web site.
	The HTML version contains the same information as the print version but is presented in a different format.
	PDF format reproduces the look of the printed publication. To view and print the PDF version, you must obtain and install the Acrobat® Reader, available at no charge from Adobe Systems. Note that PDF files tend to be of relatively large size. Downloading such files from the Internet to your computer via modem may take up to several minutes. Additionally, the quality of illustrations in printed PDF documents will generally be lower than that of the original paper document.
