ArcMAP/GIS is the only friendly way to go on this. Why not look to an engineering (or other) firm with the software already in place and just contract this little bit of work (or beg and cajole)? They would probably already have various DRG and DOQ images available that could serve as the underlying layers from which to place your image and adjust it (georeference) according to the most recent data sets.

overlaying on two (historical) plans on each other and adjusting to make the
best fit. I know this is done by high level GIS programs but I was wondering
whether anyone has some ideas on how to do this that doesn't involve me
buying Arch View!
