The United States Geological Survey (USGS) has many missions. At one time, a major mission of the USGS was the supplying of topographic maps of the United States on several scales. Our cache series is based on the 7½-minute quadrangle series.
The term quadrangle is used, instead of quadrilateral or rectangle, because the sides of these blocks are curved. The USGS divided the United States into quadrangles that are 7½ minutes by 7½ minutes. Since a degree is divided into 60 minutes, a quadrangle one degree by one degree contains 64 of these quadrangles.
The folks who trimmed the tree moved the cache higher as they had removed all the lower branches. You will need a long reacher to access the cache at this time.
