The older USGS indexes on sheets have some very useful information on them,
as well as being, in my humble opinion, easier to use in many ways. It's too
bad USGS doesn't recognize their usefulness and reprint them (or even
re-instate them!). As they are in the public domain, has anyone digitized
them and made them available on the web?

Yes, we find that the old indexes are very useful. Also, a copy of  _Map
index to topographic quadrangles of the United States, 1882-1940_ / by
Riley Moore Moffat is useful.
