Topo Maps
Where can I get topographic maps for free?
I notice there are a number of private companies you can BUY maps from. I also notice that my tax dollars already paid for the creation of those maps (USGS). So why do I have to pay again? Where is my (public) data?

I went on Ebay and bought a DVD with all the topo maps on it for the whole country. Very nice and was only about $30 or so.

Google will show topo info, and my Florida Atlas by Delorme (they have many other states as well, not sure about all 50) has topo data in it also. Not so useful in Florida, but...
