The Oberlin College
Archives has the best example that I have found of how to cite primary

Maps and Building Surveys
The Library of Congress houses Panoramic
Maps many of which are available online.
Now part of the National Park Service, the
Historic American Building Survey and Historic Engineering Record
have documented a significant amount of the American built landscape;
many of their reports are available at the Library of Congress and many
are also online in the American
Memory Collection of the LOC.
See, also, the Cleveland City Planning Commission maps
listed above at the GIS
Home of the Cleveland City Planning Commission.
