Question

Where can I find a free topographical, down loadable California map?

Answer 1

Actually US geographical data is usually free via the gov't.  Try any of these websites, each provides a slightly different set of data, but all show the general topographic features.

www.geographynetwork.com

www.geogratis.gc.ca

www.USGS.gov

www.topozone.com/states/California.asp

geology.com/state-map/california.shtml

Answer 2

Nothing is free, but Google Earth is close to what you need.  The elevations are displayed at the bottom of the page wherever you have the pointer.
