I found a bunch of cool vintage Toronto maps on the Toronto archives and the Toronto Public Library archives. Maps of specific neighbourhoods, plans for the city, the Toronto Islands and Toronto Harbour, as well as maps of statistical data can be found in abundance online or in person at the archives.
