Maps & Atlases: Home

Overview

Murphy Library has a wide variety of maps and atlases available. They are located in either the Reference area (see picture below), or in the library's basement.  Whether you are mapping the spread of a religion (for example, Judaism), wish to find specific topographical features (check out the maps available in the basement (or click on the Maps tab in this guide), or are just trying to plan a road trip (a road atlas might be of use), there are many resources to help you out.  Atlases upstairs in the over-sized collection may be checked out like regular books.  The Maps page on this guide has much more information on that specific collection in the basement.

Pictured below are very large flat atlases located near the Reference section on main floor.  The titles would look like this in the library catalog: UW La Crosse Murphy Library Reference Atlas.
