Many thanks for the offers- Ryan got there the fustest with the mostest
(history quiz there...) so I am taken care of.

In reply to Riley and Mary- I knew about the book, we don't have it.
And what I'm trying to do is make a public access tool and the old
indexes are the best for that.  I can put our holdings in the old
fashioned way with a ruler and a red pen- and those little bitty Avery
labels you can run through the printer make the index considerably more
legible than my handwriting would.  I had a nice old index map for New
Mexico that I have marked up, but needed indices for the other three
four corners states- that's all we are going to hang on to.

    All the sheets published prior to 1940 can be found in my "Map Index to
    Topographic Quadrangles of the United States, 1882-1940" published by
    WAML in 1985. Albeit many 15' quadrangles were issued in those states in
    the '40s, '50s, and '60s.
