"Thanks for the information. I have to doublecheck an Ohio library catalog again, but I think that I have found one that does.
The system became complicated in 1999 when a cutter code for national forest or national grassland was inserted in front of the quadrangle number on any map that has a part of a national forest or national grassland. I have compiled a list of about 100 Cutter codes. It makes filing "very interesting" if you file by including the Cutter code, instead of ignoring it.
Here is a record from our catalog:

I am trying to write a guide that explains how to find a map in our drawers. It is not an easy task. thanks for your help. Tom Lindsey U T Arlington Library"

Thomas (and Valerie),
My bet is that you will find relatively few places classifying, and
particularly filing, their 7.5-minute topo sheets using SuDocs, but
I'll be curious to find out. I personally cannot think of a map
collection I've visited that didn't file the sheets alphabetically by
sheet name under a G-class number either for the U.S. as a whole or
subdivided by state.
Paige
