Custom base data sets are available at your request, however they are not free, they will be a nominal cost based on the size of the area you interested in. You can choose from DRG (digital topo maps) good for most users, DEM (Digital elevation model which can be shaded by elevation heights for modeling) good for people that already know  their area. A DOQ is a computer generated image of an aerial photo and are very useful for base data and are available for most areas. TIN's (Triangulated irregular network, used for slope and aspect spatial analysis) these are for professionals doing high end modeling and will be available in the future. If you have a hard time downloading these they will available on CD and shipped to you for a nominal cost. Please contact us for your request and pricing.
