Where can I find American circus or carnival grounds plans?

Have you tried any circus libraries? Milner Library at Illinois State University has one of the world's largest circus collections in their Special Collections and Rare Books Room. I don't know if they would have a floor plan, but it might be worth asking their librarian. If they do, they may be able to make you a scan depending on the condition of the map. They can be contacted at [email protected] or 1(309)438-2871.
Circus World Museum in Baraboo, Wisconsin also has a library, the Robert L. Parkinson Library and Research Center. They might be a good place to contact. Here's their website: http://circusworld.wisconsinhistory.org/Library/AboutResearchCenter.aspx

I found at least a general description of the layout of a carnival (sans circus) in the Carny Lingo page:
The layout of the typical full-featured carnival was a time-tested pattern >designed to draw crowds all the way through the entire carnival and maximize their spending. The carnival was always laid out in the shape of a horseshoe.
It does not include a circus, but my guess is that it would go either midway in an extended horseshoe, with gate facing the arch or just opposite the arch.
