This page has a couple of links:

http://library.humboldt.edu/~rls/geospatial/topomaps.htm

Extract from that page:

Digital Raster Graphics (DRGs)
...
DRGs can be purchased from USGS and other commercial sources. In 
addition they can be downloaded for free from a number of sites 
including the GIS Data Depot and the California Spatial Information 
Library (California only). See the Mostly Free DRG Reference Page for 
additonal sites.

This Google search will return some threads that might be interesting:

It seems that the sci.geo.satellite-nav newsgroup would be
a proper place to ask more about such maps:
