I just cataloged, but don't have them on OCLC yet, all our older USGS topo indexes for all states, back to the late 1960's, in some cases, I believe. I do have some duplicates which I would give away. I could send Nick whatever we have extra for Idaho, or any other library whatever we have extra for their state, if they so desire.

Hi;
We have a copy of the 1983 index for Idaho, both paper and scanned - let me
know if you want it. It shows some 15' quads, but only for those areas
that did not have 7.5' quads at the time.
We've got on our web site scans of nearly all the state indexes from the
mid-1990's. Not the best scans, but usable. We enlarged them to be able
to read the small-sized names on the index so they are a little faint. A
bit of Photoshop work would improve them a lot. These are downloadable at
http://www.omnimap.com/catalog/usgs3/idxdown.htm.
Cheers
Russell
