----------------------------Original message---------------------------- I have been using Atlas Mapmaker to make maps, but the boundary files that came with the program include few lakes (what is a map of Utah without the Great Salt Lake!). Are there any NON-COMMERCIAL sources of boundary files for the states of the U.S., Canada, Mexico? Maybe free from some government agency or geography group? Ideally I would like boundary files that include the main lakes and rivers for each of the states/provinces. Files that give the actual latitude-longitude coordinates of the boundaries would be best since Mapmaker can convert such files to the proper file format used by the program. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide! A non geographer/cartographer Bruce Eichhorst ([log in to unmask]) Dept. of Biology University of North Dakota
