I have the Delorme software for Maine and it is quite good.

I don't either, but I think they have their own research people.  Delorme is
a pretty serious mapping company based in Yarmouth, ME.  Their "Atlas &
Gazeteer" of Maine is pretty much a "must have" in this state.  Everyone has
one.  People refer to places as "it's page 14 in the Gazeteer."  I've
visited the Delorme offices and it's a pretty impressive place.  They have a
retail store there - -quite a worthwhile visit.  It's not far from LL Bean
if you're in that area ever.
