Dr. Cook:

About.com has some good online map resources, including links to a
number of sites with outline maps:

    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.
