USGS covers scientific information for all 50 states. You can email or call them for more information if what you need is not on their website. They can send you what you need or, at the very least, refer you to someone else. However, they should have the authoritative information for the river. The good thing too is that information created by government is copyright free and usually free to the public. I've never had any problems contacting government agencies and getting responses from them. So, give them a try and see if you can find what you need. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ,-~~-.___. / | ' \ "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of ( ) 0 the few or the one." \_/-, ,----' ==== // Mr. Spock / \-'~; /~~~(O) Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan / __/~| / | =( _____| (_________| Carlos A.

After the departure of our map librarian, I have taken on the task of purchasing items for our Map Library. I know about some of the main vendors (Omni, Kappa, ITMB, etc.), but I am having difficulty finding vendors for topical maps that are not tourist or road maps. I am currently trying to find maps of two watersheds (Cache River in Illinois; Tisza River in S.E. Europe). Any help would be much appreciated! Best, Beth ELIZABETH J.
