[Talk-us] Problem with USGS Topographic Maps Layer

Hello everyone,
I am OSM user GeoKitten. I frequently use the USGS Topo map layer when editing the Pittsburgh, PA area. This layer is provided by OSM's US chapter. I am thankful for this resource, but it has a flaw: A large portion of the Pittsburgh area is missing at zoom levels 14 and up, including most of the city proper. (According to freemaptools.com, the area without coverage has a population of roughly 976,000.)

Nonetheless, I use the good portions of this map for determining the path and direction of streams, as well as the names of geographic features like streams, golf courses, and industrial plants.

Is there anyone out there who can fix this? I have no idea what went wrong, or whether the issue could be reasonably fixed, but I figured it was worth inquiring.
