You may find maps of reasonable resolution in the CIA World map database.
It contains coastlines, rivers and political bounderies. A 0.5 degree
DEM is also there.
We got it via anonymous ftp from ftp.sma.ch (Switzerland).
Maps are stored in XDR format, an IDL demo program is included.
I guess there are places in the States where you can access the data
directly.
In case you have further questions or if you find better ones let
me know.

P.S. Albuquerque is a great place!
