Perhaps you've already received this from others, but FYI.  The PDF seems to load, but then it's "file not found".

It's not just you, I get an error too. Mine says "failed to load." Curious to see if others have had this problem as well

Hi all,

 

I've been trying to download the Iowa 24k topo index from the USGS site so I can index our holdings.

But whether I open it directly from the USGS store, https://store.usgs.gov/product/54160 or download the pdf and try opening it in Acrobat, Chrome or Edge, I always get a "corrupted file" message.

Is this just me, or is the file corrupted for all of you stateside as well?

 

I have found the jpg scan at https://www.yellowmaps.com/usgs/topomaps/index-maps/24/ia.jpg  but the resolution is a bit low for my needs.


And the pdf booklet index at https://publications.iowa.gov/22843/1/Iowa%20index%20to%20topographic%20and%20other%20map%20coverage.pdf is neither a single sheet, nor does it have the sheetnames on the map.

 

Would someone kind be able to point me to/send me (dropbox etc) a decent scan/pdf of the index?

 

Any help much appreciated!

 

Thank you,
