Cartographic studies on scales from 1:10,000 to 1:200,000 with general geographical content, with particular emphasis on topographic features. It reflects the condition of the terrain, its typical features and characteristic properties in a reliable manner and with scale appropriate to the scale of detail. The image of the area is presented using conventional graphic symbols, in accordance with the principles of map editing. The Library offers topographic maps in the following scales:

Map details are available on the website of the Polish Geological Institute.
Map in black and white exhibiting the Carpathian and Carpathian foreland basin. It does not contain quaternary formations.
This map is a cartographic representation of minerals in the near-surface and underground zones and the management of deposits against the background of selected elements of mining and mineral processing, hydrogeology, engineering geology, nature, landscape and cultural monuments. Explanations are included with each map sheet. The next updated versions of this map are two editions of the Geoenvironmental Map of Poland.
The map presents in cartographic form the condition and resources of Poland's natural environment. Board A is the content of the geological and economic map of Poland, updated after five years. The information contained on the map shows mineral deposits (mining and processing), water (surface, underground, sea coast zone), ground conditions (construction conditions, protected soils, forest areas) and environmental protection (nature and landscape protection, protection of cultural heritage).
Map details are available on the website of the Polish Geological Institute.
This map presents the information layer of threats to the earth's surface, which includes environmental geochemistry, waste storage, and anthropogenic pressure.
Map details are available on the website of the Polish Geological Institute.
The map provides the location and technical and hydrogeological characteristics of groundwater intakes, as well as the location and simplified characteristics of objects harmful to groundwater.
It presents in a synthetic approach the conditions of occurrence of groundwater in the main level/aquifer, constituting the most important source of water supply, its qualitative and quantitative characteristics and the threats to these waters.
In the Library you will find the following editions:
Map details are available on the website of the Polish Geological Institute.
The map presents the state of the natural environment and the causes and effects
(both negative and positive) of changes taking place in the environment under the influence of various processes, including human activity. Furthermore it shows methods of protecting the natural values of this environment.
The content of the map is supplemented by comments on the back. Comments for the sozological map also include: information on threats and degradation of surface and groundwater, a general assessment of the state of the environment, recommendations for its management and protection, etc.
The map shows the current state and conditions of water circulation during the mapping period in connection with the geographical environment. It is created on the basis of a topographic map with the results of field mapping of water phenomena and objects, soil permeability and numerous information on water resources management, water quality assessment, as well as data on hydrosphere monitoring.
The content of the map is complemented by addendums, which contain the general natural characteristics of the area presented on the sheet, the characteristics of rainfall, surface water and groundwater, with particular emphasis on their pollution and changes in water relations.
This map (edited by professor Józef Edward Mojski) was published in 1969-1998 in Polish. The first sheet - „Radom” was printed in 1969, and the last – „Tatra Mountains” in 1998. The map covers the entire area of Poland. Part A shows the structure of the area, including Quaternary deposits. Each sheet contains a geological cross-section and stratigraphic and lithological profiles, accompanied by text explanations that discuss the geological structure of the area covered by the map, present profiles of deep drilling holes and the results of survey photo works or the results of map compilations on more detailed scales.
Full set of the sheets is obtainable at the Library.

The map was edited by professor Cyryl Kolago, published in 1976-1990. The map covers the entire territory of Poland in 74 sheets and shows areas of different productivity, the depth of the first usable aquifer, hydroisohyps, and manifestations of mineral waters. Areas with varying degrees of isolation of the first usable aquifer have been designated. Stationary groundwater observation points were also marked. The hydrogeological cross-sections attached to each sheet show the water table and the lithology of the rocks in terms of their degree of permeability. The map distinguishes hydrogeological units: regions, subregions, districts.
The library has a full set of sheets and explanations.
Map developed in the years 1947-1955 under the scientific editorship of Edward Rühle. This is the first edition of the geological overview map covering the territory of Poland. The map of surface deposits shows the structure of the area, including Quaternary deposits. This map was compiled using all the cartographic materials available at that time at various scales. Both editions A and B include 28 map sheets for the whole of Poland.
There is a full set of sheets of this map available in the Library.
It was developed between 1947 and 1955, also under the scientific editorship of Edward Rühle. This is the first edition of a geological overview map covering the area of Poland. The map of Quaternary deposits illustrates the terrain's structure without Quaternary formations. This map was entirely compiled meticulously using all available cartographic materials at the time, in various scales. Both editions A and B include 28 map sheets covering the entire Poland.
The complete set of these map sheets can be found in the library.
Proffesor Cyryl Kolago’s opus magnum. It was developed between 1957 and 1964 and consists of versions A and B, each in 28 sheets covering the entire area of Poland. Explanatory notes were also prepared, to both versions.

This map has been published since 1955. It covers the area from the Prudnik region in the Opole region to the western border of the country, covering the Polish Sudetes and their foothills. The map is supplemented with geological cross sections typical for a given area and a stratigraphic profile. Each sheet is accompanied by text explanations that discuss the geological structure of the area covered by the map, present profiles of major drilling holes and the results of field and laboratory tests. It is a superficial, lithological and stratigraphic map reflecting the geological structure in the near-surface zone. The map with text explanations constitutes a compendium of knowledge about a given area. It is created as a result of field photo work and laboratory tests.
The map was developed between 1958 and 1980 based on a photogrammetric map from 1938 and post-war geological surveys. It consists of 14 sheets.
Map details are available on the website of the Polish Geological Institute.
The map was developed in the 1950s and 1960s mainly by professor Krzysztof Birkenmajer. Consists of 20 sheets.
