I'm puzzled. In the margin of each sheet one finds the number of
adjoining sheets. Out in the fringes, those numbers still appear
calling out neighboring sheets which:

1) would be completely outside the city limits

2) are not available on the web site

But I'm puzzled. If the sheets were a product of the city's Bureau of
Planning, I can understand why they would not expend resources in
compiling maps for areas outside the city. Given that, why assign
sheet numbers for sheets which do not and would not exist?

OR, do such sheets exist? If so, why were they not posted on the web
site?

For example, sheet 129 (upstream on the Mon) says it is bordered on
the south by 130, on the southeast by 179. Neither of those sheets
are on the web site.

One wonders if they exist at all and if so, why?

One also wonders if they could be inspected in some library or public
office.

Inquiring minds want to know.
