The Libre Map Project is an online collection of all digital USGS 1:24K scale topographic maps (as well as various other GIS data) covering the United States, available as a free download.
The Libre Map Project was started by Jared Benedict and around 100 additional individuals contributing money to purchase (or "liberate") a full set of 1:24K scale USGStopographic maps in Digital raster graphic form.[1] The map files were then hosted by archive.org to ensure the map data will continue to be freely available to everyone indefinitely.[2]
