, from class G in the Library of Congress classification schedule, and provides an example of the LC pattern used when classifying maps of U.S. states and their subdivisions.

|
|
| Example MSUL (090) call number |
|---|
| G4110 | Michigan | general maps | general map: G4110 1879 .F3 Map |
| G4111 | Michigan | maps by subject | road map: G4111.P2 1950 M5 Map |
| G4112 | Michigan | maps of regions, natural features, etc., A-Z | Upper Peninsula tourist map: G4112.U6E635 2015 M3 Map |
