I think that's right, Brian.  I think the only place a person could get
them was from a Rutgers site which was down for the weekend I wanted the
maps.  On the following Monday I found the site was back up, so I
downloaded the maps for Kansas and wound up with about 40 MB of map data
as I recall.
Those maps had good street detail if I recall.  Are they or something
similar still available with 2000 census data.  Or does Tiger data
replace them?
