Notes:
Maps
from 1955 to the present have a code along the lower edge of the unfolded map,
or in the legend. This code indicates the month, year, and edition number of
the map. Until 1984, this is a 4 digit code, where the first digit indicates
the month; the next two digits the year; and the final digit the edition number
(1973 and 1974 only indicate the year and edition number). Starting in 1985,
this code was expanded to 6 digits, with 2 digits for each item just mentioned.
A listing of the known codes can be accessed below.
