You might specify which states you're interested in.

Check for DRG Repositories near you.  There's one near me at the
University of Washington library in Seattle.

There may be people who've collected DRG's for your area and will
lend them to you or make copies for you.  I've done it that way as
well.  I keep a second copy of mine just for lending out, and in
fact hardly ever see that copy 'cuz it's always traveling around.
