Thomas (and Valerie),
My bet is that you will find relatively few places classifying, and
particularly filing, their 7.5-minute topo sheets using SuDocs, but
I'll be curious to find out. I personally cannot think of a map
collection I've visited that didn't file the sheets alphabetically by
sheet name under a G-class number either for the U.S. as a whole or
subdivided by state.
