The University of Nevada, Reno, has almost completed the posting of the
historic topos (as listed in Moffat's work) and all other 15" topos of
NV and any immediately adjacent maps (including CA).

------------------
A loose confederation of map librarians in California is working on
getting
all the California topos (past and current) digitized and available over
the
Internet. Because California is such a big state, we discovered that
we'd
been independently scanning portions of our collections and making them
available.  In order to avoid duplicating efforts we developed a
listserv to
coordinate efforts.  Several libraries had already initiated projects.
The
following links are to some of their web sites.  Feel free to contact me
for
more information about the overall project.
