I never knew you could easily display topo maps in Google Earth (please don't let me be the only one). Very cool!

Anyone know what happened to the Historical Topographic Maps? There's nothing there now but newer ones that don't have trails marked on 'em. :(

It's still there, just off the Top Maps list. Type Historical Topographic into the Search bar.
