<p>You don't need to download anything ... you can browse and zoom-in on whatever you're interested in, but the user-interface takes a minute or two to master. A great resource. I can probably throw out all my 7.5 and 15 minute series USGS maps (except for hiking!).</p>

<p>Thanks Dave! The map is very helpful. Now If I can find out when the quarry opened (will it be period correct for my model) I will be in business. I'll need some photos, but this is most useful.</p>

<p>NWP definitely did have a spur into the Hutchinson Quarry. This map, from 1954, shows some of the trackage which I think was still there until the late 1970's:</p>
