<p>So, here's my stab at creating a legend for all the maps in the Atlas Plate series. It's pretty crude and not super accurate, but it gives a good idea of the area covered by which maps at a glance. The maps are listed by the accompanying issue in the YYYYMM format.</p>
<p>Printing this out at C size is ideal. B size is pretty hard to read. However, one could print it across two B size sheets in Poster mode at 125% and manually attach them to achieve a roughly-C size result.</p>

<p>John,</p>
<p>You could probably pick up off eBay a 1964 soft cover atlas for under $25.</p>
<p>Then you can personally scan in page 4 for the Continental overlays as well as pages 18, 42, 52, 62, 68, 78, 104, 124, 136 and 147 for the area overlays that would provide you more details.</p>
<p>Again, they will be "page" references that will need to be converted to "plate" references using the 1963 Index Tom provided above.</p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>

<p>Here's the picture for the map imagery, page 4 of the 1963 Atlas. It references "page" numbers.</p>
<p>Use the page/plate table Tom provided from the 1963 Index to convert the page references to the "plates" in the Folio.</p>
