Thanks Miles, that's good info. I didn't have that particular site bookmarked.
Also, just received my two USGS maps today. Both are 1:100,000 scale top maps of Crook. One called Devil's Tower and the other called Sundance. It takes them both to cover all of Cook Cty.
Strangely, both are dated 1979!!!
Huh?, I asked the local map retailer who had special ordered them for me.
She said that various maps are updated at various times depending on the amount of change. I hope they're not just selling off old maps.
But that's a good sign. I want to move to a place that ISN'T changing. I want to live in a place that's the SAME 10 or 20 years from now as it is today. That's why I've become dissatisfied living here in rural NV. It's not so rural anymore even after the scant 2+ years that I've lived here.
It's not much different than buying an old car because it's what you really like and coming out in the morning to find it was replaced by the local politicos because they thought the newer car was much better! Go figure!
I'll be poring over these maps for a while. Even if they are out of date, the topo parts are still the same!
