I've been looking at the topo maps for the New York City area, and I've discovered a strange thing. Panning over the map reveals a variety of different dates in different areas but, except for a few particular dates, such as 1947 and a few from the 1960's forward, all the dates seem to display the same 1888 quads (none are actually dated 1888) with slightly different colors. Is this intentional as a "default", or an error? Thanks, Bob Sklar |

Hello Bob, The United States Geologic Survey (USGS) would make changes to an original source map. Each year represents a revision (even if a subtle change was made) to the map. -Brett |
