Below is a script that combines the USGS Product API and Google's Geolocation API to make a shell script to retrieve topo maps from the command line. 'Product' in this context refers to mapping products that the USGS makes freely available to the world.
This is a relatively easy script to write because the USGS API finds products given lat / long bounding box. Google Geolocation API will happily give you back just such a bounding box. This means you can seamlessly convert a place names into a searchable geographic location.
Here's the script in action. As you can see the USGS mapping products are treasure trove just waiting to be mined.
