You can go to one of two places:

http://viewer.nationalmap.gov/example/services.html - this contains a 
list of services that you can pull from the national map (maintained by 
the USGS).

To me the http://datagateway.nrcs.usda.gov/ is a little more straight 
forward plus you don't have to worry about loss of internet.

This may help: http://www.northrivergeographic.com/qgiswms
