The series Maps, consists of maps of the counties drawn by H.R.S. workers on letter-size paper in preparation for publication in the guide for each county. Oftentimes there is a map of Michigan with the given county highlighted to show its location, followed by several maps of that county in varying levels of detail, drawn with some care, frequently in color. The best representative sample of each has been retained, with all duplicates discarded. After filming, these maps have been preserved and grouped together, arranged alphabetically by county. In addition, there are a few maps, too large to microfilm or not really related to the H.R.S., which have been removed to the Bentley Library's map collection.

Architectural Drawings consist of floor plans and/or elevations of city and county buildings. The drawings are arranged alphabetically by county. On the whole the drawings were not microfilmed, although drawings from some of the HCA files, which were filmed, have been added to this series.)
