The NSGS site doesn't work? Here is a list from the site for all historic maps in California.

No problems. Typos are my friend.
The NSGS site was down for a bit a few days ago. I tried to download some historic DEMs of my region and they weren't available. So, your post wasn't too off.
Map sites are so cool and it's really amazing what we have available to us today.

Ya, the NSGS is my next stop, but I needed to find the right topo maps, and I think I might have found exactly what I needed.

This is a link to a KMZ file you can open up in Google Earth to see what has been done. It's a good starting point for me.

The program owner of TransDEM needs to seriously consider a more automated way in which to make his program available. I would also think it would be of a genuine interest of those developing the Trainz platform to look into incorporating the mapping program into the next release.
I've gathered all the information I need to start laying out my project, but I'm dead in the water without the TransDEM program.
Anyone out there that can pull some strings? Certainly don't want to belittle Roland for enjoying his holiday, but I am a bit itchy to get to work.......can you tell?
Thanks

I too am needing an upgrade, but let him enjoy his holiday. At least in Europe they get more than 2 weeks a year. We're lucky if we get 2 weeks paid at a lot of workplaces today. As this is a sideline to his main occupation, I think he handles this very nicely and safely as he oversees the handling of the licensing and the files. This is more than what a lot of places do today where you don't even have contact with the developer because they hide behind a website with pretty pictures. He'll be back to work soon enough.
