Dear Dr. Whyte,
In reference to your inquiry regarding a 1:125,000 scale map index,
after an thorough search we were not able to locate a singular
electronic index source for this reference. There are numerous State
agencies and Universities which have compiled their own indices, but
these usually only document certain States for which they have a need
for this type of reference. After performing a Google search (1:125,000
USGS topographic map index), I was able to locate a number of websites
with varying content for specific States, none of which contained a
complete record for this map series. We have an internal database
(MapCat) which allows us (USGS) to generate text reports for many of our
map series, but the database does not possess the functionality to
provide an electronic version of a query result that we are able to
distribute. The best source available to external USGS patrons is a
book compiled by Riley Moore Moffat titled "Map Index to Topographic
Quadrangles of the United States, 1882-1940." As of my last
recollection, this book was still available for purchase.

Does anyone have an index for the USGS 1:125,000 30-minute quadrangle
series, covering the whole USA?
If so would it be possible to get a scan of it (or, if a digital file, a
copy of that)?
Thank you
