Hello Lou:
According to our contacts as USGS, the USGS and Forest Service had a cooperative agreement and that agreement has now lapsed. For that reason, USGS is not issuing the 24K maps, and they haven't distributed any since May 2008. So we have distributed all that have been issued to date. Talks are underway between USGS and Forest Service. USGS can print existing maps on demand, but that would be considered a revision and USGS would have to distribute those maps, and would have to bear the cost of the distribution. The 7.5 maps are produced by BLM. We will contact USGS and see if this situation applies to BLM maps as well. Our Acquisitions specialists are making contact with Forest Service as well to see if we can determine if the 7.5 will be printed in the future; if talks with USGS
show that the BLM maps are affected also we will be contacting BLM.
If you can find BLM maps online that we have not cataloged, please contact us via AskGPO and we will catalog the electronic versions immediately. We are currently cataloging all the electronic maps that we find.
Thank you for using askGPO and for your continued support of the Federal Depository Library Program. If you need additional assistance, please feel free to contact us again.

For over a year now, I have not seen a single shipment of USGS
topographic maps in the 7.5-minute series. I have seen several
shipments of BLM Surface and Mineral Management series, Forest Service
maps, miscellaneous USGS maps in various series, and CIA maps, including
some very fine large format ones (of Afghanistan-Pakistan border, and
West Bank settlements, for example).
Has anyone else seen a shipment of 7.5-minute sheets? These are with
GPO item numbers 0619-M-1 through M-50 for Alabama through Wyoming, M-51
for Washington, D.C., M-52 for the Pacific island territories, and M-53
for Guam, Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands.
