Your 'just brown and blue' edition might just be a misprint. We
received a quad once that had just brown and blue, but no black or red,
so there was nothing to identify its location. We displayed it during
Geography Awareness Week and encouraged people to guess what state it
was from.

I am hoping the good folks in Maps-L can help me with a minor mystery.
Someone I know has two copies of the Downey Mountain, WA 7.5 minute
series map. The map is a 1963 edition that was published in 1965. They
are exactly the same except the coloration of one of them is different
from the other. One has these reds and oranges and such and the other
is just brown and blue (for the water bodies).
What is going on? Would you consider them different? Would you keep
both of them?
Any help you can give me would be most appreciated.
