According to Riley Moffat's Map index to topographic quadrangles of the
United States, 1882-1940, published by the Western Association of Map
Libraries in 1985 as Occasional paper no. 10, there is no quadrangle
immediately north of the Kilgore, Texas sheet.

Hi Maps-Lers:
I have been seeking info from the USGS, among other places, about
whether or not there was ever printed a topographic map sheet at the
scale of 1:62,500 covering the area immediately north of the 1:62,500
Kilgore, Texas sheet (the map I am seeking would be bounded by 32.30 -
32.45 N. Lat. and 94.45 - 95.00 W. Long.) I was told by the USGS library
that the Moffat map index to topos (WAML, 1947), which covers maps
1882-1940, does not list such a map.
That area is presently covered by the 1960 1:24,000 topo sheets
Gladewater, Gilmer, Glenwood and White Oak, all published in 1960. We
have a patron looking for maps dated 1936-1950 of that area.
I am also trying to find out if there are any printed indexes (dated
prior to 1967) to USGS topo maps. I have saved the old printed indexes
dating from 1967 on, and they show how the mapping proceeded from no
maps to 1:62,500 to 1:24,000.
Does anyone out there have an index dated prior to 1967?
Does anyone have (I am assuming only Texas libraries would have this)
any maps 1936-1950 of the area?
