Never seen a free topo map in my life. How large an area you look ing to cover? They're not that expensive per sheet.

I don't know of any free ones. My dad and I used to buy them at a little outdoor store in Worcester. I can't remember the name for the life of me so this might not be much help. It was up on East Mountain St. I couldn't tell you if they still sell them, I don't remember a price either. They went by town I believe. I know its not a lot of info but if you try to google it they might be worth calling.

The "Gazeeter" series by Delorme isn't as detailed as a Topo map, but they're pretty good. Depends what you need it for. Far from free, but they cover entire states.

I like http://mapper.acme.com/. Not only does it have topo. switch from topo to road to satalite.

In addition you can plug in coodinates from you gps, and measure distances.

That is exactly what I to to keep track of the places I hunt. I use Google earth and one of the free topo map overlays that are available. http://www.kk.org/cooltools/archives/002970.php

There are many available these days.

Not free, but pretty sure that REI sells them from USGS. Check at any of their stores.
