The sheets of which it "is composed are projected without reference to political divisions, and are designated by some prominent feature found on them. Three scales are used, 1 : 62,5li0, 1 : 125,0OJ, and 1: 250.000. These correspond, ap- proximately, to 1 mile, 2 miles, and i miles to i linear incli on the map. The size, unless otherwise given, is about 17.5 inches in heiglit by 11.5 to 16 inches in width, exclusiveof the margin, the width varying with the latitude. A descri]>tion of the topographic map is printed on the re\erse of each sheet catalogued below. About one-tilth of the area ot the country has been mapped, nearly every State being represented. Massachusetts, Connecticut, Kliode Island. Xew Jersey, and the District of Columbia are completely mapped. Sheets of the regular size are sold by the Survey at 5c each; but in lots of 100 or more copies, whether of the same sheet or of different sheets, the price i? 2c each.
