Nancy,
 
The Paigh Americas 1:250,000 series is in GEODEX and the file is available
from our FTP site.  The file is F0154.ZIP and the ftp address is
CONVEX.CSD.UWM.EDU.  To get to the directory, enter cd ~ftp/pub/geodex.
Switch to the binary mode for transfer.

We separated the PAIGH maps into country sets, and use page-size CIA maps as
indexes.  We drew the sheet grid on to index map.  Oh, and we used extra copies
 or photocopies of the CIA maps.

MiU has the same index.  By the way, has anyone received sheets NC 16-3 or 4?

Greetings from the Spam (consumption) capital of the world,
 
I've noticed the indexing problem, too on the PAIGH series.  If the DMA/PAIGH
folks can not provide an updated index (I haven't tried asking for one), you
might want to copy the individual country's indices that appear in the
GEOKatalog, or World Mapping Today.  We sometimes use our Map-O-Graph machine
(does anyone else have one of these beasts?) to hand-make sheet indices for
various map series if one does not exist.  It beats crossing your eyes.
 
You still might have to "fine tune" the index, though.  For example, I have a
sheet NA 17-14 of Ecuador that doesn't exist on the GEOKatalog index.  Still,
the rest of the country seems to follow.
