Abstract
Beginning in 1879 the United States Geological Survey (USGS) began surveying land in the United States. Since then they have developed over 55, 000 1: 24, 000-scale topographic maps covering the 48 coterminous states in a standard, detailed manner. The result is a wealth of data contained in physical documents. Unfortunately many of these documents over the years have begun to deteriorate.
