For comparison purposes, you may wish to look at the U.S. National Atlas which
the U.S. Geological Survey has on the web at: http://www.nationalatlas.gov
.
One of their cartographers wrote me that they "are working constantly to
update
and improve our site, and we value input from our users. Use of our site is
free, requires no registration, and we try to answer user questions
promptly."
