Like Rome! Built on hills! (and sacked by barbarians?)

What are the steepest streets in Somerville?

I can't seem to find a convenient (free) topographic map of Somerville to answer my local geography trivia questions like this. Is there an online topo map of Somerville that will display in tiff or jpg or gif or something rather than some proprietary (or at least unreadable to my machine) format?

If you want a paper map, REI has sold them for years. I think there's a Boston store, and if not, there's definitely a store just off of 128 in Wakefield/Stoneham/Reading???

REI is in the Fenway, but I bet Globe Corner Books in Harvard Square sells topo maps too. EMS in Harvard Square might also have them.

Rubel's Boston Bikemap is an overlay of a USGS topographical map. You can buy this at any bike store or book store, and I've even seen it occasionally at drug stores and supermarkets.
