QGI= S doesn't provide its own data sources, it's just a tool for visual= ization.

Most states also provid= e their own detailed shapefiles, often with extremely specific purposes (I = stumbled across "abandoned mines of New Jersey" earlier today). <= a href=3D"http://openstreetmap.org/" target=3D"_blank">OpenStreetMap da= ta is also free to use, although can be inconsistently detailed, and Natural Earth is g= reat for public domain global sets. All of these can be imported into QGIS = and combined in various ways, customized then exported as PDF for animation= purposes.
