Finding Maps in the Catalog
PSU Libraries has a detailed guide to finding maps, though perhaps the easiest way to locate what you need is through the PSU Library catalog.
Begin by selecting the Advanced Search
Type in your country of Interest. Select "Maps" under Material Type
You may end up with many results. Use the sidebar to narrow search by type (print vs digital), date of print, or availability.
If you scroll down further, you will see "Subjects" and can find specific types of maps: Political, economic, and so on.
