A few have permission from the copyright holders as noted in the descriptive record. The Library of Congress is providing access to these materials for educational and research purposes and is not aware of any U.S. copyright protection (see Title 17 of the United States Code) or any other restrictions in the Map Collection materials.

The two-dimensional work of art depicted in this image is in the public domain in the United States, either because it was first published in 1922 or earlier, or for the reason described either above or below this message.
