[PRCo] Re: historical usgs maps redux

[John Swindler]

For what it's worth....

Was following the trolley line from Buffalo to Erie, Pa. on these old maps, 
and just to see what would happen, kept going west by selecting the adjacent 
quad.  Got to about Sandusky, Ohio.  Then headed south (picking up Ohio 
Electric part way), and with some detouring, ended up in Cincinnati.  Tried 
heading back towards Pa. via Columbus, but too many quads not yet available 
at this site.

Then started heading south from the Pittsburgh quad to see what would 
happen.  Got to Morgantown, then had to head southeast.  Ended up near North 
Carolina in western Virginia, then east to near Richmond.  Again, as with 
Ohio, Virginia quads only partially scanned and available on this site.
