To echo what Mark said, try:

These are USGS maps, not the particular BLR maps that the student found in the NARA, but if he's just looking for topo info, USGS should suffice, right?

USGS' web site has topos dating back quite a ways. In PDF format.
15' sheets go back 100 years in some cases.

Hello, one of my students is trying to find topographic data for parts of eastern Washington prior to the construction of US Bureau of Reclamation reservoirs.

He found this link:

http://research.archives.gov/description/2210454

Is it possible that these maps exist in digital form somewhere?
