Here is an old message.  Maybe this should be a FAQ.

The Data User Services Division of the Bureau of the Census also has
data on CD-ROM (TSO standard format) that is derived from USGS
1:100,000 map data and may be a bit more 'object oriented' than USGS
files.  Call (301) 763-4100 for more info or they have a BBS at
(301) 763-1568.  I have some old ancient census data that's fairly
small (only a few meg) but is not in any standard coordinate system
that I'm aware of and isn't much good for anything but drawing state
outlines.
