his index to 7.5 m i n ute topographic q uadrangle m aps general ly conforms to the quad code system used by the
Department of Water Resources; the quad names are those used by the U.S. Geological Survey. Two lists are inclu ded
below, the fi rst sorted by quad code, the second by quad name.
There has been some confusion regarding the names of certain 7.5 m i n ute quads: the 1 9 93 USGS California Index to Topographic
Map Coverage indicates a preferred name for future map updates, b ut current actual maps indicate a different name. I n these few
cases we h ave listed the name on our current maps and i ndicated the alternative Index name in parentheses; it is probably best to
order maps by the latter name. Also, there are apparently 20 quadrangles lacking maps at the 7.5 m i n ute scale, and we under
stand that the USGS h as no i m m ediate plans to produce them. For these q uads we have indicated the 1 5 m inute map name
and q uadrant ( N E, NW, SW, SE), along with the provisional name, now obsolete, previously used for that 7.5 m i n ute q uad.
We use a unique q u ad code system for the California islands; the first three d igits of each code m atch the island code given
on the inside front cover.
