Jeff - There's no Maynardville 30' topo listed on the 1955 North Carolina
index. I suspect it's a typo - for that matter, according to the index page
you posted the adjoining Yadkinville quad to the west (which does appear on
the index) has a southern latitude of 46 degrees, which at the given
longitude technically puts it in Canada.

Hello,
According to "Map index to topographic quadrangles of the United
States, 1882-1940" by Moffat, Riley Moore, there is supposed to be a
30' topo in North Carolina named Maynardville, published in 1884.
I'm not familiar with a community by this name in NC. Yes, Tennessee
has a Maynardville, but I can't find anything for NC, much less a map
by that name.
Could someone please help me by looking through the resources you may
have, such as a more extensive map collection, or other index maps, to
check and see if this might be a mis-print? Or, if it is correct,
would someone be able to confirm that, and perhaps even provide a
scan?
I've put scans online of the two NC pages from Moffat's book, so you
can see what I'm talking about:

http://www4.ncsu.edu/~jfessic/NCHistTopos_Index.gif
The Maynardville topo map is shown as quadrangle #46, in somewhat the
northern central part of the state.
Thank you very much,
Jeff Essic
