I stumbled accross this website (http://www.gelib.com/usgs-topographic-maps.html) that offers a Google Earth Layer that lets you view USGS maps on google earth. Thought some of you might find this usefull.

Click on this to load the USGS Topo Layer

I found it works best if you zoom in a lot

Great new layer.

And, yes, you must click on the name, wait 10-15 secs, and then zoom in tightly to see the maps clearly, but it still beats the heck out of Topozone.

Thanks for posting!
