Jon,
Very true--no cutters for N & S California.
I have always been under the belief that there are no cutters for N, S,
E, W, NE, etc. of the states because those boundaries cannot be defined.
Much like the definition of the Midwest.
Libraries have used cutters for N, S, etc., but you have to be careful.
If you use ".S6" for "Southern California" you are stomping on the
official LC cutter list--"S6" is for Six Rivers National Forest, "N6" is
unassigned. Probably have to use "S738" for "southern California," but
that is handful of a cutter.

The Cutter table has many omissions, but it works.
But then again, LOCAL RULES APPLY. If you have a local practice, then
use that. So locally, do what you want, but in OCLC, etc. please use
the standardized cutters.

Is it true that there is not a 'Northern California' or a 'Southern
California' region Cutter in table G4362? How can this be?
Or am I missing something obvious?
I realize local subdivisions typically get done locally, but I don't
think it's just map libraries in California that have a lot of northern
and southern California maps.
