    Natural Earth provides convenient, ready-to-use geospatial data for making small-scale maps with consistent, recognizable geographic shapes across multiple scales. The carefully generalized linework maintains neatness and all data layers align precisely. Attributes such as embedded, ranked feature names and river width attributes facilitate faster map production from the cleanly attributed data.

    Convenience

    Natural Earth solves a problem: finding suitable data for making small-scale maps. In a
    time when the web is awash in geospatial data, cartographers are forced to waste time
    sifting through confusing tangles of poorly attributed data to make clean, legible maps.
    Because your time is valuable, Natural Earth data comes ready-to-use.

    Neatness Counts

    The carefully generalized linework maintains consistent, recognizable geographic shapes


    at 1:10m, 1:50m, and 1:110m scales. Natural Earth was built from the ground up so you
    will find that all data layers align precisely with one another. For example, where rivers
    and country borders are one and the same, the lines are coincident.

    GIS Attributes

    Natural Earth, however, is more than just a collection of pretty lines. The data attributes
    are equally important for mapmaking. Most data contain embedded feature names,
    which are ranked by relative importance. Other attributes facilitate faster map
    production, such as width attributes assigned to river segments for creating tapers.
