Congrats to our buds at the University of Hawai'i Manoa for making
this week's Internet Scout Report (scout.wisc.edu for archive and
signup)!

If you're not already familiar with the scout report, it's sent every
Friday from the Scout team at the University of Wisconsin Madison and
contains pointers to digital resources, mostly from the US and Canada,
but also from other places around the world.  Just browsing the weekly
report should make every librarian in the world happy!

The text of the entry is:

6.   Hawaii Quadrangles
http://magis.manoa.hawaii.edu/maps/digital/quads.html

How does one map Hawaii? It's not an easy proposition, but the United
States Geological Survey (USGS) has been doing just that for over a
century. The University of Hawai'i at Manoa Library has created this
digital archive of topographical quadrangles for the state of Hawaii, and
they are a real find. Visitors to the site will note that they can view the
maps by island and that each map also contains a helpful index that can aid
users in their search for specific areas of interest. Additionally,
visitors can view historical USGS maps from 1910 to 1933 that provide
additional layers of data about these rather unique locales. [KMG]

Enjoy!
