All,

Thought this might be of special interest to you. The USGS historical
topographic quadrangles are being made available in the Map Locator
application at the USGS Store website (http://store.usgs.gov
<http://store.usgs.gov/>), for viewing/downloading in GeoPDF format (a
print-on-demand can also be ordered). They will be made available in the
same chronological order that the new product U.S. Topos are being made
available, so the first State where they are available is Kansas. These
historical quad scans include every version of a USGS topographic
quadrangle map that was printed, including reprints where no changes
were made to the interior of the map. Here is where you can find details
on this project:
