Old topo maps?

Posted by Steel Pan on September 22, 2009 at 9:23pm in Questions and other things
I'm looking for a place to get my hands on old topo maps. I need to research Plumas and Sierra counties of Calif. Anything from the early 70's on back would be a big help. If any of y'all know where I can pick some up, I'd sure appreciate the info. Thanks!

    Check out www.mytopo.com they have a phone number you can call. They are very nice people and may have those maps.

    Thanks Bill, but I'm in Reno, Nevada.
    I'll have to hit a pretty good "Honey Hole" to afford that trip. LOL

      Are you saying to go to W.D.C. physically, or is there a web site?
      I've searched the net pretty extensively with no results for archived maps.

      Thanks Mike, but I'm tryin' to find archived maps from the 40's to 70's. I'm checking with city, county, state, and feds trying to find any archived maps. So far, no luck.
      Hmmm, just had a thought, maybe I'll check with some surveyors. They may have some archived maps.
