This link worked for me today. 8/5/2017
Yes Yes Yes after a year or so of seaching the web and local libraries I finally found the maps I have been looking for. The earliest maps I can find for this area are from 1939 but show tons and tons of homes that werent there in the 1970's map. Here is the link to the site all you do is search the town then when you click on the map it will ask you to open or save the PDF file. It will allow you to zoom in and also print sections of the map that you want.

Hope this is helpful to you guys.
Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, the link is not working for me. Anyone else finding this to be a dead link/url?
I know this is an older post and you may have figured it out by now.... But what I do is download GOOGLE EARTH, then go to USGS maps. When you find the map you want download the KMZ version and it will automatically overlay the map onto google earth for you. I then use the tools within Google Earth to to mark-up and measure etc.I read this post the other day and followed the link to check it out. I had been to the USGS site before but didnt use this map function. This time however I did a search of my town and also where I grew up, which is rural and where my wifes family owns land, again in a rural area.
These maps went back to 1934 and show alot of old house places that are now gone, unless you know where to look! I downloaded the TerraGo toolbar and I think it is going to be a very handy tool along with the maps. With the TerraGo you can place your pointer on an old house place and get the coordinates, then using GPS(which I already have) I can follow the GPS to whatever old place I want to.
This could be a very handy tool and I appreciate the link information. Now if I could just figure out how to do an overlay with it.
