I am looking for maps of terrain that are on electronic media
and that can be transferred to UNIX and plotted. One source may be the
U.S. Geological Survey --the letter has been written. Does anyone know
if the USGS has their maps stored electronically? If so, can they be
obtained at a reasonable cost, and what form are they stored in?
I need Tektronics 4010 code, ASCII ordered points, or a program to
convert to them. Is there electronic LANDSAT data available?
Any other sources? I am looking for maps that contain at least the
water bodies.  Contours, elevations, roads, vegetation, and other information
would also be useful.

Thank you.
