Historical City Maps
The Perry-Castañeda Library Map Collection, which resides at the University of Texas at Austin, has an online resource for nearly 400 years' worth of U.S. city, street, sewer and topological maps. Most are rather pretenseless, but some have intricate and ornamental features that evoke thoughts of long lost treasure maps. Thanks to Stephen Coles for the tip.
The Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas also has an amazing collection of historic atlases.
