The HI intensity maps are Green Bank Telescope observations of the redshifted 21cm emission on 100deg2 covering the redshift range $0.6<z<1.0$. We process the data by separating and removing the foregrounds with FastICA, and construct a transfer function to correct for the effects of foreground removal on the HI signal. We cross-correlate the cleaned HI data with the galaxy samples and study the overall amplitude as well as the scale-dependence of the power spectrum. We also qualitatively compare our findings with the predictions by a semi-analytic galaxy evolution simulation. The cross-correlations constrain the quantity $Ømega_HI b_HI r_HI,opt$ at an effective scale $k_eff$, where $Ømega_HI$ is the HI density fraction, $b_HI$ is the HI bias, and $r_HI,opt$ the galaxy-hydrogen correlation coefficient, which is dependent on the HI content of the optical galaxy sample. At $k_eff=0.31 \, h/Mpc$ we find $Ømega_HI b_HI r_HI,Wig = 0.58 0.09 \, (stat) 0.05 \, (sys) 10^-3$ for GBT-WiggleZ, $Ømega_HI b_HI r_HI,ELG = 0.40 0.09 \, (stat) 0.04 \, (sys) \times 10^-3$ for GBT-ELG, and $Ømega_HI b_HI r_HI,LRG = 0.35 \pm 0.08 \, (stat) 0.03 \, (sys) 10^-3$ for GBT-LRG, at $z\simeq 0.8$. We also report results at $k_eff=0.24 \, h/Mpc$ and $k_eff=0.48 \, h/Mpc$. With little information on HI parameters beyond our local Universe, these are amongst the most precise constraints on neutral hydrogen density fluctuations in an underexplored redshift range.
