A useful collection of links to map symbols is the Unofficial Arc/Info & ArcView Symbol Page. While some of the links are strictly for ArcView palettes and ArcInfo line and marker sets, a fair number link to graphic symbols and TrueType Fonts useable in any compatible GIS or mapmaking software. Symbol sets cover a wide variety, including roads and highways, geology, and animals. Most, but not all, are free. Also check out the links at the bottom of the page to free clip art resources.
