States that are printed:   STATES OF:  ALABAMA, CALIFORNIA, IDAHO, INDIANA,
KANSAS, KENTUCKY, MICHIGAN, NEBRASKA, OKALAHOMA, SOUTH CAROLINA, TENNESSEE,
WASHINGTON, WEST VIRGINIA, and also PUERTO RICO.
 
The remainder of the States to be done are in stages of preparations for
printing, with the completion of the program set to made by late summer 1994.
 
For those interested in ordering map coverage, the Catalogs of Topographic
and Other Published Maps of the States will still be used reference the
