DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
Geological Survey
Abandoment of the USGS 15-Minute Topographic Quadrangle Map
Series; [1:62,500-Scale]
AGENCY: Geological Survey, Interior.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute topographic
quadrangle map series is the official replacement for the USGS 15-
minute series. The 7.5-minute (1:24,000-scale) series, which provides
grater detail than the 15-minute series, has been completed for all
States (except Alaska, which is covered by maps at 1:63,360-scale) The
USGS has not revised or reprinted the maps for many years and can
longer support both the 7.5-minute and the 15-minute map series.
Consequently, the 15-minute series has been officially abandoned and
will no longer be available for sale after June 1, 1994.
DATES: March 1-31, 1994--USGS map dealers may exchange USGS 15-minute
topographic maps that they have in stock either for credit at the
discounted rate of $1.25 per map or for 7.5-minute maps, one for one.
No dealer exchange or credit will be accepted after March 31, 1994.
April 1-May 31, 1994--State agencies, the general public and map
dealers may purchase remaining USGS 15-minute topographic maps in stock
for $0.50 per map, in minimum quantities of 100 maps per title.
June 1, 1994--The USGS 15-minute topographic maps are officially
abandoned. This means that 15-minute maps will no longer be available
from the USGS. However, copies of color separates will still be
available for sale and descriptive information will be maintained for
reference.
ADDRESSES: U.S. Geological Survey, 508 National Center, 12201 Sunrise
