----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Getting 1:50K maps will be difficult. Some US Army maps may be available at that scale. My suggestion is to make do with 1:100K maps. That is the USGS "intermediate" scale for mapping. All transportation and hydrography are already available in digital form and are being distributed on CD-ROM. All 1:100K quads for N. Carolina, S. Carolina, and Georgia are available on one CD-ROM, called Area 3. Phone number for more information is Earth Science Information Center (ESIC) -- 1-800-USA-MAPS. The CD-ROMs cost $32.
