Try USGS Map Distribution Box 25286 Denver, Colorado 80225 (303) 236-7476 or USGS 1400 Independence Road Rolla, MO 65401 (573) 341-0851 They also list an 800 number that I have used, but with less joy. 1-800-USA-MAPS Allen ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: USGS topo prices and delivery speed Author: Maps and Air Photo Systems Forum <[log in to unmask]> at MU-Internet Date: 5/6/96 8:09 AM ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- It's been a long time since I ordered quad sheets directly from USGS. Can anyone tell me what the current price is, and more importantly, how long delivery usually takes. I've gotten spoiled by ordering local sheets from Illinois State Geological Survey (cheap and fast). Now I want to buy the entire Los Angeles area, and I'm weighing the pros and cons of ordering them from MapLink (immediate delivery, but $6/sheet). Is there a California state agency that sells them near USGS cost? Is there still a USGS Public Inquiry office in LA? :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Dennis McClendon, Chicago CartoGraphics [log in to unmask] -------------------------------------------------------- >Date: Mon, 6 May 1996 11:40:33 -0400 (EDT) >From: Eric Schmidt <[log in to unmask]> >Subject: Re: USGS topo prices and delivery speed Dennis, The price for the standard USGS 7.5 minute quads jumped to $4.50 during this past year. I'm not sure what the delay is from Denver these days, but you might also contact the California ESIC Offices: CA Dept. of Conservation Div. of Mines and Geology Lab 801 K Street MS 14 34 Sacramento, CA 95814-3532 (916) 327-1850 (Main) (916) 445-5716 (Sales) (916) 327-1853 (Fax) Contact: Sylvia Bender-Lamb -and/or- Map and Imagery Library Davidson Library U.C.
