Check with the NTIS (national Technical Information Service), they have a copy
of the CIA world map database available for a low copying fee.  It is a very
involved database containing data in radians to 4 decimal places...it's big
but can be reduced.  The last version of the database I heard of had 4 files.
The world in great detail, the world with less detail showing country boundarys
The US showing major lakes and rivers and the US showing county boundaries.

There are other more detailed maps of the US available from the US Geological
Survey Department USGS ...these contain topographic information, water resources
...etc depending on which ones you get.
