Consider SDTS-format contours, overlaid on top of the tiger maps.
You'll need GDAL/OGR compiled in to do that, but then you'll have
some of the features of the topo's on top of your street maps.

See the "Search and Rescue Features" link off the Xastir home page.
I have an image of that there.  Actually it's terraserver satellite
images with SDTS contours overlaid.
