MapTech has put on-line a good number of old USGS Topo Maps, at this site:

http://historical.maptech.com/index.cfm

I have seen USGS Topos dating back to 1898, but unfortunately the Topo given on this site for Roanoke was surveyed in 1928-1929 and published in 1931. The map scale is 1/62500 and the JPG scan images are only 1 to 2 megs each, so don't expect a lot of detail.

The "N&W states" put up so far on this site are Maryland, Virginia, Ohio and West Virginia. Some of the Maryland maps go back to 1892.
