In feature separation the Information elements of the maps, such as roads and water features, are subdivided subdiv-ided Into classes, and separate separ-ate master drawings are prepared for each map-feature map-feature classification. This enables people who want to prepare maps for special needs to purchase copies of reproducibles containing only those map elements required re-quired for their custom mapping. Four more regional topographic topo-graphic maps covering about 19,500 square kilometers 97,500 square miles) of southwestern Utah have been published by the U.S. Geological Geolo-gical Survey, the nation's principal civilian mapping agency.

The maps are among the first in the new USGS metric series of 1:000,000 -scale maps in theSurvey's National Nation-al Mapping program.

The four new maps and the areas they cover are; ST. GEORGE covers an area between 113 and 114 degrees de-grees longitude and between 37 and 37.5 degrees latitude.
