$d / $e / $f / $g (Coordinates - West / East / North / South)
043 (Geographic Area Code)
Virginia topo maps: n-us-va
052 (GeographicClassification)
$a (GeoClass) = (based on G class#
Virginia =[G] 3881
Virginia counties. =[G] 3883
Virginia cities = [G] 3884
$b (GeoCutter) = (based on G class#
Wise County (Va.). = [G3883] W6
Wise (Va.) = [G3884] W7
Note: Justify with 651 $v Maps.
050 (LC Call#)
Apply G class#, based on 052
Apply Table G1a (Subject Subdivisions)

100 / 110 / 111 (Name Main Entry)
Accept $e relator term(s), esp. cartographer.
245 (Title statement)
Local practice: Online map, add GMD: $h [electronic resource]
Local practices: Print maps, do not add GMD for cartographic material
For TopoMaps, add 246 (Var.Title): $iFiling title: $a <City, State.Abbrev(-State.Abbrev)>
255 (Cartographic Mathematical Data) -- Accept, add if easily available
$a (Scale) = (based 034)
Ex.: Scale 1:24,000.
$b (Projection) = (generally: Mercator projection)
$b (Coordinates ) = (generally: [hemisphere]/degrees/minutes/seconds: hdddmmss)
Ex.: (W 77°15ʹ00ʺ--W 77°07ʹ30ʺ/N 38°52ʹ30ʺ--N 38°45ʹ00ʺ).
264 (Production, Publication, Distribution, Manufacture, and Copyright Notice) -- RDA
2ndInd= 1 ($a/$b/$c publication info)
For e-Maps, use: 1 online resource (maps) : ǂb color, digital, PDF file
Always supply $c publication year (infer a bracketed year)
2ndInd= 4 ($c copyright year) Accept the phrase “copyright” or the symbol ( © )
