I'm not sure you will find them, so I suggest you make them yourself.  In the past, I've used the process listed here: 

  http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Topographic_maps_for_garmin_devices

It is pretty straight forward and mostly just works with little interaction needed once it starts.

You might also want to look at how easy one of the packages listed here are to use:

(GroundTruth looks interesting, but I have never tried it.)

Good Luck,
