You're more than welcome to pilfer my CA maps.  I've been busy and
haven't been able to get around to finishing NV, yet.

http://stratofox.org/gis

All I ask is credit for the work.  I may go back at some point and redo
CA to filter outliers and use either Kreiging or Regularized Splines
with Tension and Anisotropy algorithms for more natural looking maps.

I run a mapserver locally to serve my own data.  I've been considering
adding one to the Stratofox server, which would cover a plethora of data
sources and be available to the public.  I just need to find some time
to do it.  Easier said than done, but serving up ~1' resolution aerial
imagery would be pretty swank.
