Looking at seatguru.com I can find the current seatmaps for all the airlines. But is there a place that I can find seatmaps and layouts from some of the past? Like NW and their DC-10, DL's L-1011, some of the old 747s from UA, AA, DL, etc.?

This is off the top of my head.
On the Boeing web site, there are typical seating configuration maps for a *few* Boeing and McDonnell-Douglas airframes no longer manufactured that are tucked into the technical information.
I don't get over there much, so I can't give a list.
During the 60s and 70s, United used to publish a travel agent edition of their timetable, and it was like a small version of the OAG. One of the sections is seat maps for the fleet at the time. Also, I have seen seat maps in some public timetables for various airlines from that time period.

A lot of airlines published seat maps in their timetables from the 1980s to the end of publication. Searching on eBay or flea markets may find you some seat maps.
Also, there was a publication, to which one could subscribe that had a timetable sized booklet filled with nothing but seat maps of various airlines and types. It was published monthly and had a North American and International edition. Sorry, I can not remember the name .... perhaps some on this site can remember.
If you have a specific airline/aircraft combination you are looking for, it is likely someone on here has it and can send it to you.

Quoting Doona (Reply 2): Did airlines even publish seat maps before they had websites
They did in timetables, and they had the large posters at the check in desk with each seat having a sticker. A passenger would select a seat and the agent would remove the sticker and place it on the boarding pass.

Here's a link to a website called Timetable Images. It is the closest I can ever find to seatmaps. As someone said in an earlier post, some of the older timetables had seat maps. This link shows an example of a Trans Canada Airlines (now Air Canada) Northstar. It is not a seatmap, but a cutaway of the aircraft. It's basically a DC4 that is modified with different engines, pressurized or better pressurization and squar windows instead of round like the DC-4. Quite an interesting plane,with many other modifications that gave it an almost DC-6 look. I digress.
I seem to remember seeing other timetables, like one of the last Pan Am ones, with seat maps. I can't remember if it was the actual timetable, or one I saw on this website. Anyway, at least there is a lot of very interesting stuff on this site. Not all timetables are there for every airlines, but a good selection. Hope this helps, and enjoy the browsing! http://www.timetableimages.com/ttimages/complete/tc48/ (you will want to click on page 5 of the timetable)
Cheers,
