The metadata is non-existent. It's a data set that has the following topo boundaries. 1x2 deg., 30'x60', 1x1 deg., 7.5 min., and 15 min grid cells with topo names in the attribute table. John A.

This is a job for MAP LIBRARIANS!!! (think flying superheroes with capes). Seriously... Using GIS, I have already done Colorado 15' http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=8b3a5efdadd8415b82a9aa0cea2b5fa2 and Colorado 30' http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=1ea23482875c45328101613e462cf432 At WAML's fall meeting in Honolulu (you NEED to attend), I am doing a workshop on how to make these indexes. I figured it could be a group project to make other states' indexes using GIS. Once the things are in GIS form, it is easy to create jpegs, pdfs, and google earth files. I have detailed notes on how to make these things using ARCGIS 10.0. --cjjt Christopher J.J.

We can scan them for you, if that'd help.

I've been able to find .shp files for the 7.5, 100, and 250 series, but no one seems to know where to find something for the 15' series. Does anyone have any ideas that I could track down? I certainly don't want to recreate something that is already in existence.
