About the print map collection

The Concordia University Library print map collection is located in the Webster Library, on the 3rd floor near the north staircase, Mackay side (see its exact location on a floor plan). It is accessible during regular library hours. To help you find maps in the collection, there is a set of map indexes located at the Ask Us! desk. The staff and librarians at that desk will also be able to provide more information or help. Please drop by during service hours.

Below is a complete list of the map series in our collection.

To find published maps in the National Topographic System of Canada (NTS) consult the map Indexes to the National Topographic System of Canada. These index maps are located at the Ask Us! desk.

To find maps for a specific location in Canada consult the Geographical Names of Canada, an online gazetteer that contains location information, including the NTS map code. You can also consult the Toporama interactive map that will show you the NTS grid with NTS codes.
