Richard, some of the best archivists of maps have gone out of business. Many of them started their business after amassing years and years worth of maps during collecting that spanned decades. I used to get some of the most detailed railroad maps from a guy in Arizona who once offered to sell me the business. I wish now I had taken him up on it because all those maps were lost when he died. They all wound up on the local landfill. I just happened to call the week he died and spoke with his son who broke the news to me that his father had died. Then, in a double whammy, he said that he had cleared out all of that map junk so he could sell the house. I cried twice, that day.
But cheer up, mate. Most of what you are looking for can be found on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration web site.

It's all about that magical moment of discovery when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.
