Welcome The Stanford Geological Survey Collection contains thousands of maps and hundreds of notebooks spanning the 100-year life of the Survey. From 1895 to 1995, students, led by faculty, went into the field during the summer to learn how to create topographic and geologic maps. Past members of the Survey include Herbert Hoover, Thomas Dibblee, and Benjamin Page. In the early years, students in groups of three would be responsible for mapping a small section of land at set intervals. They created hand drawn topographic maps and overlaid them with geological features. The Stanford campus and surrounding lands were the first to be mapped. Later, the United States Geological Survey topographic maps were used as the base maps. Over the years, students mapped in parts of California, Nevada, and Utah. The Stanford Geological Survey Collection is available as one of Stanford's Insight image databases. Please note that the online collection is growing with additional maps and notebooks to be added over time. To learn how to access the digitized images, see the Using the Collection page for instruction, help, and download links. To access original images in the collection, see the Access page.
