I forgot to mention that not only CWU but other universities in Washington State collect heavily on resources about the Columbia Basin. Both the University of Washington and Washington State University have great digital collections. I just took a peek at WSU's digital collections site located at: http://content.libraries.wsu.edu/ If you do a search for "Columbia basin" and "map," you will find the USBR maps that you are looking for. You may also want to take a look at UW (pronounced you-dub) at: http://content.lib.washington.edu/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ,-~~-.___. / | ' \ "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.

He found this link: http://research.archives.gov/description/2210454 Is it possible that these maps exist in digital form somewhere? Tony Diaz California Institute of Technology 1200 E.
