DTED is only for elevation.

You want feature data. VMAP 0 - update to digital chart of the world. That
is just political boundaries, I believe, though political boundaries meet
water. Would a shoreline be any different? SO you can I believe you can
see lakes, but don't think rivers are part of it. There is also VMAP1,
which may have more detail. There are specs at:

And some data is available through:

http://geoengine.nima.mil

But you may not be able to access from outside the .mil domain. It'll let
you know if you can't.

Does anyone know of any free map data that shows lakes, rivers, shorelines?
I assume it would be in DTED format.

Thanks,
