Details

There is a very substantial amount of geographic information openly provided by the US Government. The most relevant to this specific question is probably the US Census' TIGER (Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing) Database which provides vector data covering features such as "Boundaries, roads, address information, water features, and more". In addition to TIGER there is also substantial geographic data available from the US Geological Survery (USGS) at: http://www.usgs.gov/pubprod/. This includes topographic maps as well as aerial and satellite imagery (such as the global Landsat data).
