When I first started learning about the US maps the DMA produced I recall
being disappointed that most series didn't seem to ever be completed. I'd
love to know more about why they mapped some areas of a state or country
and not others. If the 21st century decision-making I've seen holds for the
earlier editions, they're only made and/or updated as-needed: invasions,
military operations, etc., though those maps (Iraq, for example) were made
but I think still remain classified 'confidential' and so would never show
up as available.

Why three sheets were removed from the V783 index is beyond me though.
