- ----------------------------Original message----------------------------
- We recently received five Census maps on Shipping List 92-0672-P. The maps
- are basically MSA maps showing a variety of Census and political areas.
- They bear the general Census map SUDOC # followed by a cutter on the MSA name
- and then the word INSET, e.g.
- C3.62/2:T15/INSET for Tampa-St. Petersburg
- The mystery--for me anyway--is what the areas outlined and numbered in red ink
- represent. Calls to our Census Regional Office geography division--who obligin
- gly spoke with folks at the Census Bureau and GPO--yielded no more information
- than this: Census maps coming through GPO should not have red lines on them.
- But these divisions are the most prominent feature of the maps. Any enlighte
- nment out there for the ignorant?
