Lori, For the current US counties, I use a map from the Census Department: http://www.census.gov/geo/www/maps/stco_wall_2003/stco03_wallmap.htm You can download the PDF file to your computer and zoom in on the states and counties you wish to see. You can print the zoomed-in portion or "clip" it. Note that the Census Dept. has a more recent map, but that map has extraneous information printed across each state. The 2003 map is up to data as far as counties are concerned. I live in the last county added added (Broomfield County, CO in 2001).
