I doubt it's what you seek, but I greatly enjoy topozone.com. Topographical maps for the entire nation! Free! Their catalog of searchable names includes very obscure communities that haven't been actually featured on the maps themselves for years. I am a rather strange person and greatly enjoy looking at maps. Have several hundred USGS maps in my collection (actually on loan), and maps hanging on the wall. I know...

Dont know if this is useful, but Findlaw is another law site that comes in handy for my research occasionally. Its a good resource on legislative resources as well.
