[meteorite-list] Looking for Map of Meteorite Finds in Eastern US

[Mikestockj at aol.com]

Hi Paul & List
There was a map that was produced a few years ago that is probably exactly 
what you are looking for. It is called the "Guide to North American Meteorites" 
by Bill Peck. I have a copy and it is very well done. You can order it from 
the address below. He shows a sample of the Western US on the page.

ESRI Map Book, Volume 17--Cartography: Philmont

Looks like it is available as a software package as well. Hope it is what you 
are looking for.

One caution, I know he created the map using the coordinates as listed in the 
4th ed Catalogue of Meteorites as well a subsequent bulletins. Unfortunately 
most of the coordinates (especially the meteorites found along the East coast) 
will only show you where the meteorite is not located. My understanding is 
that in an earlier edition of the Catalogue of Meteorites Hey had an assistant 
find the coordinates of the post office for the towns where the meteorite was 
found.
