----------------------------Original message---------------------------- ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- One man's opinion. I have just looked at, for the first time, the new sheet index map - in this case of Massachusetts et al. I DON't LIKE IT. It is hard to spread out in order to look for what you want. It doesn't make clear the inddividual quads. Mostly, however, it fails to recognize that, after 500 years, the codex format has never been beaten. Am I a voice crying in the wilderness? Chris DEvan Chris, We've been overriding the 100- and 250k series with IMW numbering for some time and like it a lot better (100k sheets are NE/NW/SE/SW of the 250k numbers). I'm planning to superimpose the old AMS path/row numbering on 7.5' quads. State sheet index margins are easy to modify with path/row numbers. If sheets are face up in the map drawer, just circle the DMA number in pencil. Should be a slam dunk.
