Years ago, the Indiana University Geology Library received two editions of the 7.5 minute topo quads, one with the green woodland overprint and one without.  The maps without the green overprint photographed better for black and white illustrations in journals.

I am hoping the good folks in Maps-L can help me with a minor mystery.

Someone I know has two copies of the Downey Mountain, WA 7.5 minute
series map.  The map is a 1963 edition that was published in 1965.  They
are exactly the same except the coloration of one of them is different
from the other.  One has these reds and oranges and such and the other
is just brown and blue (for the water bodies).

What is going on?  Would you consider them different?  Would you keep
both of them?

Any help you can give me would be most appreciated.
