Instructions are provided for downloading topographic data for any region of the contiguous 48 states from the United States Geographical Survey's World Wide Web site. Mathematica code to reduce the original 9 megabytes of data to a manageable size is included. The process is illustrated by creating maps of the Lake Superior region.
