    To illustrate some developments in global history, I wish to make some
simple outline maps of various regions of the world, just needing to show
coastlines and major rivers, on which I can add dots and names for cities.
Is there a such a basic set in the electronic public domain, or a simple
for-sale program? Would a good alternative be to download satellite photos
of terrain and land-masses, and add labels to them? Advice would be very
welcome. Thanks in advance.
