You need the older indexes if you want the names of the 15 minute quads,
as the new indexes show only the 7 1/2's.

Sandy,

Most quadrangle names don't change, but areas subject to development may
take new names. A quadrangle named "Awful Swamp North Northwest" may be
renamed "Pleasantville" if people move to it and build a town.

As newer quadrangles may supersede earlier ones with different names,
this makes use of new and old indexes a bit trickier, especially in
libraries using indexes for shelf listing materials.
