Other USGS map products. Topographic maps are not the only cartographic products available from the USGS. The USGS publishes and distributes a variety of special-purpose maps. Some of these are topographic-bathymetric maps, photo image maps, satellite image maps, geologic maps, land use and land cover maps, and hydrologic maps.
