The Map Collection at Cushing was officially formed in 2019, with a foundation of donated maps from Ron and Jane Woellhof. The Woellhof donation contains over 100 maps from the 15th and 16th centuries, the majority of the collection is city views produced by well-known map makers. The Map Collection holds maps, atlases, and charts by early master cartographers, both printed and manuscript. Maps are collected in multiple editions to reflect the changing understanding of world geography, with duplicates of the same edition collected in order to hold both a colored and uncolored copy. The Map Collection supports research on the social, political, technological, artistic, and historical aspects of cartography, exploration, and spatial data visualization. In addition to the curated Map Collection, there are maps located in other archival collections at Cushing, including the unique Maps of Imaginary Places Collection.
