Have you looked into Sanborn fire insurance maps. These are super detailed maps of all buildings and roads in a city. I found them for the city I'm modeling and just bought the ones that my railroad ran through. Its cheaper to do the research on the maps you want yourself then order them from Environmental Data Resources Inc. To do the research you'll have to find a book of maps for the city your interested in, usually the main branch of the public library will have a book of maps for the city. You can look through that one and write down the sections of maps you want then you can order them from EDR. Only drawback is its not cheap. Hope this helps.
