Summary

This polyline shapefile represents roads worldwide. The data was derived from a database at 1:1,000,000 scale (but holds up to 1:250,000 scale), covering all of the United States and Canada, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Belize. These data are represented at 1:10,000,000 scale. This layer is part of the Natural Earth Collection (v.2.0.0). Natural Earth is a public domain map dataset available at 1:10, 1:50 and 1:110 million scales. Featuring tightly integrated vector and raster data, with Natural Earth you can make a variety of visually pleasing, well-crafted maps with cartography or GIS software. Kelso, N.V. and Patterson, T.
