There are a few things to remember here: CalTopo has created many tile sets. Some examples are: historic USGS data, recent USGS topo, recent USGS aerial, and visitor maps. Caltopo.com also allows viewing tile sets from other sources like OSM and Google. When I use a USGS topo map in Xastir, I almost always overlay an OSM vector map. I agree that it is often not useful to read roads off topo maps.
