[mapserver-users] New to mapserver; question about USGS DRG/GeoTIFF files

Hi,

EPSG:4326 bounds do work all the time but in order to see your image the epsg:4326 extents must be the same than the epsg:26719 extents of the image projected to epsg:4326.  

This may go wrong, I have not used cs2cs program much, but let's hope I did this correctly
So I tried to take the 26716 coordinates and reproject them to 4321 

d:\FWTools2.4.6>cs2cs +init=epsg:26716 +to +init=epsg:4326   #reproject from 26716 -> to 4326
295125.999  4761593.049                                      #input coordinates  
89d30'45.961"W  42d58'52.872"N 0.000                         #cs2cs output
308264.099 4778305.843                                       #input coordinates  
89d21'27.097"W  43d8'6.525"N 0.000                           #cs2cs output

If this want OK it means that your image should be inside an epsg:4326 box defined by EXTENT -90 42 -89 44  
If it went wrong some more experienced cs2cs user will certainly help you further.
