Summary	The Liberia map collection consists of 117 maps depicting Liberia at the whole country, region, and city level, covering a variety of subjects and uses, primarily in French. These maps make up a small part of the Geography and Map Division's uncataloged holdings of maps that were acquired before the advent of digital cataloging in the 1970s. The collection's strengths are in maps of administrative and tribal boundaries, locations of natural resources and animals, population density, mines, plantations, communication and transport lines, roads and fuel stations, water systems, and locations of churches in Liberia.
