http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/mdbquery.html might be a good place to 
look for historical  maps and other historical digital data.

It mentions:
  Civil War Maps ~ 1861-1865 
http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/gmdhtml/cwmhtml/cwmhome.html,
Maps ~ 1544-1999 (http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/gmdhtml/gmdhome.html) ,
Railroads ~ Maps ~ 1828-1900 
http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/gmdhtml/rrhtml/rrhome.html
-----------
A *very* nice modern interactive map can be found at 
http://www.nationalatlas.gov/scripts/start.html

I zoomed in on the US, selected "State Boundires" and "shaded Relief" 
and then 'redraw'.  I'm sure your browser can then save that image to 
disk for future messing/printing.
