I know. I left that on there in the mean time while I figured out the
translations. It wasn't even bending the map at all before. The
software just sees the image as a blob of data, that you have to tell
it how to transform, so it really didn't care that the map had a
legend left on it. In my last post, I describe how I finally got it to
work. :)

Good for you,

... but are you sure it worked? I mean, are you sure that it is correctly
referenced?
At half way of the description I just quit following it (sorry, too complicated 
for me).

Brian,

The left side of your image contains a ... legend, so it's not part of the
map. How can any program guess what is legend and where the map starts?

I am still battleing this conversion. I was just informed, via IRC,
that gdal won't overwrite existing files, so I may have been making a
difference, but not knowing it. In any case, I tossed together a
simple script, that thus far, does nothing...

#!/bin/sh

rm -rf nn.tif n-merc.tif

echo '*** Translate ***'
gdal_translate n.tif nn.tif -of gtiff -CO TFW=YES -mo
TIFFTAG_XRESOLUTION= -mo TIFFTAG_YRESOLUTION= -a_ullr -115d0 56d0
-105d0 54d0 -a_srs "+proj=lcc +lat_0=54 +lon_0=-115 +lat_1=49.33
+lat_2=54.66 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +datum=NAD27 +ellps=clrk80"

echo '***   Warp    ***'
gdalwarp -t_srs "+proj=merc +datum=WGS84" nn.tif n-merc.tif

open n-merc.tif


I have also posted the source file I am working with, albeit scaled
down and converted so its not 140mb.

What concerns me is what gdalinfo gives me for the intermediate step,
as the georeferenced coordinates are dead wrong. If I remove the a_srs
to assign it as being an actual lambert conformal projection, it
doesn't even have the georeferenced options, just the first ones.

I'm trying to get all of it. :)

It appears like a_allr is ok, but then when I apply the definition, it
only grabs a few meters of the real map...

I think I must have to set the scale to something. I just don't know
what yet... I am going to sleep on it. I found some sites that have
some calculations for that now.

Um, it looks like it's doing what you're asking it to do.
What corner points are you wanting?
