Olson" <[log in to unmask]> Subject: historical map scales Sender: "John A. Olson" <[log in to unmask]> Hi Everybody, I seem to remember that there exists a book, article, or reference work that lists a plethora of historical map scales with their present day conversions or something like that. Does this ring a bell with anyone out there? I remember using such an item years ago but can't think of the title. Can anyone help me out with a citation? Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------- John A.
