Information about scanned versions of USGS topographic maps, called Digital Raster Graphics or DRG's, is at http://mcmcweb.er.usgs.gov/drg/ Some states such as Vermont make them available online as noted at http://mcmcweb.er.usgs.gov/drg/avail.html or http://www.gpsy.com/maps/ For New Hampshire they might also try the GRANIT Net site at http://nhresnet.sr.unh.edu/granit/overview.html There is a DRG exchange (trade or purchase) at http://www.pipeline.com/~jcsi-maps/drgs with New Hampshire coverage at http://www.pipeline.com/~jcsi-maps/drgs/Page_5x.html Some commercial scanned topo sites (including Delorme) are - http://www.delorme.com http://www.trailsillustrated.com http://www.landinfo.com http://www.maptech.com http://www.topo.com http://www.esri.com/data/online/hti/ This is not an endorsement of any of these products.

Johnson" <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Question Folks, We have been approached by Delorme Map Co. to "borrow" about 800 topos for about 2 weeks for a scanning project they are doing. Has anyone else been approaced & turned them down or had experience with a similar situation? We ordinarily do not circulate our topos. Thanks for any advice.
