...and other transportation enthusiasts. Don't know if somebody's already posted this before, but I've been finding "back-issue" USGS maps most useful in my efforts to trace the old New York Central mainlines, and they're kinda interesting to anyone who's into seeing how towns and cities develop as well. (Most of them seem to break down into a 30-year spacing, typically 1890s/1920s/1950s.)
Collection only goes west to the Ohio/Indiana border and south to include Virginia and West Virginia, but it's at http://historical.maptech.com --and if you know of a library or university in your area that has old USGS maps, you might drop 'em a line and see what they say.
Now if only there were something similar with Canadian maps for the north shores of the Great Lakes...
