The BLM surface and surface/mineral maps are all 1:100,000 scale so just use the index in each booklet for the 100K topos. All the BLM surface and surface/mineral management maps will be either A-1 or E-1. If both the coordinates at the SE corner of the map are whole degrees the letter will be A. If the southern coordinate at the SE corner is on the half degree, i.e. something with a 30 seconds after it, the letter will be E. But GPO is pretty good about getting the cataloging for these in OCLC promptly so you shouldn't need to figure all this out for yourself.

I can't answer deeper at present, but the A, C, E, etc. letters in the SuDoc no. pertain to a grid that is laid out. If you see an index to these, you will see that the grid starts with a larger set of "blocks" with the letters repeating within each block. As long as you have an established SuDoc no. for your map, you don't need to worry. If you don't have, and can't find the full number and need to determine it, then you will need to look at the map, along with the grid (which is the best way) to derive the correct letter to use (as well as the following number, e.g, A 1, C 3). If I have a chance, I will add more details and explanation. I did dozens of maps from various series and set up the grids to make this easier to determine each time. David J.
