The ArcGIS Server used by USGS requires very precisely formed WMS requests. I haven't tried to get his to work in JOSM - just TileCache. I'll see if I can work it out this weekend. Buy me a beer in Denver and I'll figured it out then!<div>

<div><br>The WMS links are formatted for tilecache. I'm not sure what format JOSM prefers, but you can probably infer it. Note that you need to get the layer names (numbers) just right or you won't get a valid response from the server. And don't try to use EPSG:900913 even though the GetCapabilities says it works.</div>
