<div id="ygrps-yiv-283720600">I received the following reply from topozone regarding the UTM <br/>
coordinate problem.  I take it they have not looked at too many USGS <br/>
maps, at least not the ones we have struggled with:<br/>

I will look into this, but I would be VERY skeptical of your <br/>
conclusion<br/>
that there is an error in the UTM grid on the USGS printed map.  Very,<br/>
very, very skeptical; the USGS does its cartography much more <br/>
rigorously<br/>
than Topo! does or we do.  Check what version of the Topo! software<br/>
you&#39;re using, too - they have had a reputation of having very <br/>
inaccurate<br/>
coordinate conversions.<br/>
<br/>
I&#39;ll get back to you with more data - fortunately, I should be able to<br/>
get an independent source for the coordinates of that point, so we can<br/>
compare everything to a definitive reference.<br/>
