All,
AH! This is a job for MAP LIBRARIANS!!! (think flying superheroes with
capes).
Seriously... Using GIS, I have already done Colorado 15'
http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=8b3a5efdadd8415b82a9aa0cea2b5fa2
and Colorado 30'
http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=1ea23482875c45328101613e462cf432
At WAML's fall meeting in Honolulu (you NEED to attend), I am doing a
workshop on how to make these indexes. I figured it could be a group
project to make other states' indexes using GIS.
Once the things are in GIS form, it is easy to create jpegs, pdfs, and
google earth files.
I have detailed notes on how to make these things using ARCGIS 10.0.

We (and many other map libraries, I'm sure) have paper copies of old
state indexes that show the '15 quads. We can scan them for you, if
that'd help.

I'm trying to find a digital index for the USGS 15' topo sheets. I've
been able to find .shp files for the 7.5, 100, and 250 series, but no
one seems to know where to find something for the 15' series. Does
anyone have any ideas that I could track down? I certainly don't want
to recreate something that is already in existence.
Best Regards,
Barbara Carroll, CPG
