Topographic maps from the U.S. Geological Survey are now available for free, online, via a new government web site that lets users search for them and select from current and historic topo maps, plus aerial photos and special maps such as those delineating mineral deposits. A fuller description of the online map archive is available here from USGS. Warning: The map search page does not appear to work correctly in some browsers.
