[PRCo] 15-Minute USGS Topographic Maps

[Edward H. Lybarger]

I have recently received the following information of interest:

jpeg versions of the old USGS 15 minute quadrangles are now available for
> free download at the following URL:
>
> 	http://historical.maptech.com/
>
> So far, they have Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, and all states north
> and east of those on the site and will apparently have Ohio on line soon.
>
> The maps have apparently been scanned at 300% of actual size, so the image
> resolution is excellent.   The file sizes are also huge - 1.0 to 1.8 MB
> per quarter quadrangle depending on how "busy" the topography is.

I went to the site, but with recent email problems (not entirely resolved,
but better now) didn't take the time to try one on for size.
