-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Fwd: shipments of US topos? Date: Thu, 3 Dec 2009 12:01:55 -0600 (CST) From: [log in to unmask] To: Map & Air Photo Discussion List <[log in to unmask]> Hello, As the CUAC Liaison to the U.S. Geological Survey, I contacted Richard Huffine at the USGS Library with this question. Below is his response. Linda Zellmer ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The new US Topo product will be available as a digital product only. Any printed product will be purchased and produced in a print-on-demand fashion. The USGS Geography Program is not printing any copies of US Topos for distribution of any kind. If GPO wanted to purchase printed copies for Depository Distribution, I'm sure that USGS would assist them in that effort but USGS is not printing these maps at all otherwise. The Depository Program relies on riding existing print orders for the production of copies for FDLP distribution and the USGS is not producing printed products for these maps by default.

Date: Thu, 3 Dec 2009 09:38:17 -0500 From: Grabach, Kenneth A. Mr. <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> For over a year now, I have not seen a single shipment of USGS topographic maps in the 7.5-minute series. I have seen several shipments of BLM Surface and Mineral Management series, Forest Service maps, miscellaneous USGS maps in various series, and CIA maps, including some very fine large format ones (of Afghanistan-Pakistan border, and West Bank settlements, for example). Has anyone else seen a shipment of 7.5-minute sheets? These are with GPO item numbers 0619-M-1 through M-50 for Alabama through Wyoming, M-51 for Washington, D.C., M-52 for the Pacific island territories, and M-53 for Guam, Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands.
