The problem for you is you want free and you are probably not going to find 
it offline.  At one time Garmin released for pay TOPO U.S. 2008 and you need 
something like this display topo maps in BaseCamp or Garmin Mapsource..  I 
did see you may be able to purchase a copy of this from Ebay.  You can use 
GoogleEarth to display your track and then save the screen image.

I use an older pay program called OziExplorer which allows me to use topo 
maps downloaded from the USGS site.  I then use a free program to convert 
the downloaded pdf file into a graphics format.  Then you have to calibrate 
the map in OziExplorer so your track will properly display.  The simplest 
answer for you is to purchase a a copy of Garmin TOPO U.S. 2008 and use 
BaseCamp and MapSource.  By the way what are you using to acquire your 
track?
