West Virginia Cartographic Information Center: The Survey maintains microfiche files and indexes of aerial photography,
Skylab photography, Landsat imagery, and other forms of remote-sensing. We do not sell this material, but our files are available
for examination, and we will assist you with ordering. We also maintain microfiche copies of out-of-print maps for examination only.
Due to the extreme variety of this material (low and high altitude; color, color-infrared, or black and white; scale; date of
acquisition; area of interest; etc.), we encourage personal visits rather than phone or letter requests. Please contact our Earth
Science Information Center. Several free pamphlets are available concerning maps and remote sensing.

Open-file reports are unpublished research products. They may be incomplete, not formally reviewed, and in unpolished form.
Open-file reports may be examined at our offices during regular business hours. Locations of reports in specific Survey offices are
indicated in parentheses-for example: (Library). Gaps exist in report identification numbers because reports are occasionally
withdrawn or published. Reports are listed chronologically starting with OF791; earlier reports are not in chronological order.
Copying policy:
1. Some reports are shown as "not copyable." This means that, due to size, shape, or condition of the original, xerographic
or diazo reproduction is not practical. (Some of these reports can be hand-copied, traced, or photographed on our premises
by requesters.)
2. A few popular reports are available at prices indicated.
3. The remaining reports are copyable. We encourage requesters to examine reports on our premises. If a copy of a report
(or portion) is desired, the requester may make copies on our premises, at the prevailing rate. (This copying privilege
includes photocopying on our convenience copier only, under supervision of a Survey employee.) Alternatively, Survey
personnel can make the copy, but at a substantially higher rate, and as time is available.
