People interested in the current status of paper format for USGS topo
quad maps may want to watch this Answer (ID 3185) on GPO's Help:

        Question
        What is the status of distribution of USGS topo quad maps?  The last
shipment received was May 28, 2008.  I have heard rumors that they are
no longer distributed in paper format -- but must be accessed in some
way electronically by way of the USGS home page.  What is the "official"
word on the paper format status?
        Answer
        The May 2008 issue appears to be the last one distributed.  A final
decision has not been made for paper distribution of the USGS topo quad
maps.

GPO plans to meet with USGS next month and will update this entry after
the meeting.
