I've finally finished this collection of historic topo maps for Google
Earth.  150 high resolution maps covering all 4,000 square miles of Los
Angeles County from 1920s through the 1940s.  Google Earth is perfect for
these since you can adjust the transparency of the maps to compare current
day aerials with what was there 80 years ago.  You can also overlay the
maps
with current roads and buildings.  Google Earth 4 is required.

Just open this KML file with Google Earth:
