TerraServer’s user interface really sucks, so I wrote my own interface that uses their map tiles: http://mapper.acme.com/
This has been around since 2001! These days it is largely obsoleted by Google Maps, and TerraServer eventually got around to implementing some of the features from my interface, but I still use it pretty often. And as you say: topo maps.
