The message about the Forest Service topographic quadrangles provides some
useful information, but for a cataloguer it raises a question involving
the management of the records in a local catalogue.
These are described as being "single editions" whatever that means. Each
is in a series with no single-ness about it! They involve the same base
maps as the regular USGS 7.5-min quadrangles, which are in state series.
Is each forest to be considered the coverage of a separate series?
We file them with the other quadrangles for the state. If I use the
records for each forest, it will not be possible to indicate that they are
filed with other quadrangles for the state, rather than in a separate file
for national forests. I have such a file, and it needs work, but not THIS
work!
This happens to come at the moment I am deleting the records we once
received for each quadrangle as a separate title. I am using the state
series records with attached item records for each quadrangle name and
edition. I have been wondering what I should do with the records for each
forest series. If any of the cataloguers has an idea, I would probably
find it useful.
