Has anyone else been silently informed by the USGS that the spelling of the
State of West Virginia is changed from what we were accustomed?  The 7.5
minute ser. (topo) 'Cherry Run Quadrangle' (1998 ed., published 2002, ISBN
0-607-96801-X) covers parts of - so we are informed - the States of West
Vurginia [sic], Maryland, and Pennsylvania.  A freak printing that will
either be replaced free-of-charge or become another collectors' item?
