Hi Rob,
I don't know what your real mission is, but take care. Very few (no?)
USGS 1:24000 maps have been printed/distributed in the last five years
(except perhaps those jointly produced with the USFS, which cover a
small fraction of the US). Many USGS 1:24000s (e.g., Washington, DC)
hadn't been updated in nearly 30 years--the most recent print editions
are well over 5 years old. So if your goal is simply to keep only the
new, "current" print 1:24000s, you may be left with nothing but Forest
Service editions...and a very skimpy print topo map collection with
little or no coverage of some states.
But maybe that's the goal. ?
$.02. (And maybe less since I'm no longer in the FDLP pipeline.)
HTH.

Western Washington University intends to discard all 1:24,000 US
topographical maps from the following states that are more than five
years old. We will send any to libraries for the cost of shipping and
mailing. If there are specific maps you want we will attempt, within
reason, to find them. Please let us know by Friday October 14 if you
want any of them.
If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.
