you might try USGS DEMs (Digital Elevation Models). There are many programs that can convert these to a mesh file, though they can get very large. Topo maps usually only have simple contour lines that would have to be digitized manually- A time consuming process. The company I work for has all the stuff to do this sort of thing. Let me know if you want more details.
