Collection 
The only USGS topographic printed map collections still retained by the NC State University Libraries are 1:24,000 (7.5 minute) North Carolina maps. The oldest maps in our collection are from 1934, while the most recent are from 2003.

Locations 
NC 1:24,000 Topographic Maps are all combined into one collection at the Administrative Services Annex (ASX).  The two spreadsheets linked below are from past inventories, but the collections are now all combined.

Online digital options 
Practically all USGS topographic maps are accessible online:

Downloaded maps are often in GeoPDF format which open using Adobe Acrobat Reader.  A GeoPDF may be converted to a GeoTIFF for use in GIS software using ArcMap's PDF to TIFF toolset.
