------------------
Has anyone used NIMA's TLM's (topographic line maps at 1:50,000)? NIMA
produces the ONC's at 1:1,000,000, the TPC's at 1:500,000, the JOG's at
1:250,000, and the TLM's at 1:50,000. I've never heard the TLM's
discussed
at any map library meetings or in the map library literature. But
apparently
they are available for purchase from some vendors since they are
unclassified. It looks from the NIMA web site that they are not full
USGS
topo maps, hence the term "line" I suppose. Would they still be as
useful
for the same purposes as the full topo for an engineering firm?
Thanks.
