Subject: USGS National Map US Topo Copyright

Hi All,
Please excuse me if I’m behind the curve on this. I noticed that the
street information on the Baton Rouge East 2012 National Map US Topo map
is attributed as copyright 2006-2011TomTom. Having been taught while
growing up in the library world that nearly all US government documents
were free of copyright restrictions, I’ve generally steered patrons who
want to reproduce maps for publications to the USGS maps. It looks
like they will have to get permission from TomTom to use the street
information.
Have anyone else encountered this?
