Greetings All:  I'm looking for Electric and Gas Utilities' Areas of Coverage:
their territories of service, within the State of Michigan..  

Like most GIS Techs, I would prefer a very detailed digital map layer that can
be resampled for efficient use at any geographic scale, BUT....

For these maps, very generalized boundaries will work. THIS project requires
"only" an 8.5x11 monochrome printout (photocopiable) of the entire state
showing the territories of the larger utilities (including overlaps) with symbols
for the smaller utilities.  One map each for gas and electric.    I expect
requests for more detailed info in the future (maybe, maybe not), so more
detailed boundaries will probably be called for then.

Resource Data International, Boulder, CO, seems to have what we want and
lot more, but at a price beyond what our bean counters will allow us to pay.  I
believe they won an award at the MapInfo conference last year for their
maps.  From what I saw on their WEB page ( www.rdimaps.com ), it was well
deserved.

Any thoughts or advice appreciated, especially pointers to possible data
sources.

...thanks   ...Bob
