Hello,
This thread reminded me of two very fun map collections online:
1. The Library of Congress has historical maps online, "powered" by LizardTech:
http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/map.html
2. UNH has a repository of old USGS maps:
http://docs.unh.edu/nhtopos/nhtopos.htm
The second set of maps is especially interesting for GIS as it provides
comprehensive coverage and precise georeferencing (though in projections
that no-one uses anymore). However the first set may be a better source
for maps of particular historical events (esp. ones that predate the USGS :-).
