- NOTE: Over 65 files have changed in version 1.4 of Natural Earth.
- NEW: Sovereign country of South Sudan independence on July 2011.
- CHANGED: South Sudan and Sudan's administrative level-1 units have also been refreshed.
- NOTE: The disputed Sudan and South Sudan area of Abyei is retained.
- NEW: Panama and Papua New Guinea back to separate countries. They were accidentally
merged into a super country in some admin-0 files for the 1.3.0 release.
- NEW: 50m admin-1 states and provinces now includes version with lakes punched out.

- CHANGED: A lake south of Kaunas on the Nemunas river has been recoded as an artificial
reservoir named “Kauno marios”.
- CHANGED: Rivers, 10m - Database structure changes: Name1 is now Name, Name2 is now
Name_alt Attribute changes: Several dozen missing strokes weights were
corrected, 1/2 dozen scaleRanks. One new mystery river segment.
- CHANGED: 1. The stream marked as the Parana in Argentina has been renamed: the lower
stretch is the lower portion of the remains Parana, then the Paraguay upstream
from the confluence of the Paraguay and Parana. Then Cuiaba upstream from its
confluence with the Paraguay, on up to the source.
- CHANGED: The Angara, a tributary of the Yenisey river, in Russia was at a scale rank 2
while it’s parent was scale rank 4.
- CHANGED: Upper section of the James River is the Cowpasture River.
- CHANGED: South Branch of the Potomac, near its source, edited to add wiggle that
matches National Atlas.

James in Virginia) is the Calfpasure River, which joins the Little Calfpasture
River a bit southeast of Goshen to form the Maury.
- CHANGED: Rivnum 23000 is the San Pedro River. The Natural Earth line appears to give a
source just inside the US, but the National Atlas line has a source in Mexico.

- CHANGED: Marine label areas - Now includes French names for most features. Corrections
for Helodranon’ Antongila to Antongila Bay. Karskiye Vorota Strait looses
Vorota as that already means Straight.
- CHANGED: Graticules at 10m, 50m, 110m now have reasonable ScaleRank values.
- CHANGED: Geographic lines at 10m, 50m, and 110m demotes the pre 1995 date line segment
down to 100, giving Null Island company. Display column has been removed, Name
column added with shorter version of the old Display name. Name_Long contains
that former column, but renamed in keeping with current Natural Earth
practices. Also, Abbrev column added for short names. Note now contains the
“1995 Kiribati adjustment” and the like, including: “Any given day starts here
and progresses west, with yesterday nipping at its heals.” And a FeatureClass
column to bring into alignment with Natural Earth current practices.
- CHANGED: The South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands were missing the words
South Sandwich.
- NEW: Sint Maarten is a adm_0 country.
- CHANGED: Admin-0 maritime boundaries, 10m - Corrected the maritime boundary between
Maine and New Brunswick.
- CHANGED: Admin-1 polygons and lines, 10m - Small portion of the Rhode

River, MA.
- CHANGED: All US state boundary fixes: R.I.-Mass., Va.-N.C. now bends south in the
middle., Del.-Penn. boundary bends differently., Tenn.-Ala.-Ga.-Miss.,
Kan.-Col., Neb.-Co., Neb.-Wy., S.D.-Wy., S.D.-Mont., N.D.-Mont., Iowa-Mo.,
Modify the DC shape a bit to better match more detailed zooms and remove part
of the adm-1 line on the shore.
- CHANGED: The ADM1NAME Ãstfold corrected to Østfold.
- CHANGED: Zhejiang – Should be labeled as the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. Is part of
Australia. RENAMED Niue – Is not part of Australia, but independent.
Associated with New Zealand. DELETED as admin-1 units are not shown for small
countries. Kerguelen Islands are part of France DELETED as admin-1 units are
not shown for small countries.
- CHANGED: Niassa Province in Mozambique is incorrectly spelled as ‘Nassa’. ‘Niassa’ is
there as a varname, but the province has never been called ‘Nassa’.
- CHANGED: Populated places (10m, 50m and 110m) - Norwegian cities, in whole related to
the special characters æ, ø and å. The following corrections should be made:
Baerum -> Bærum, Svolvaer -> Svolvær, Tonsberg -> Tønsberg and
Vadso -> Vadsø.
- CHANGED: Baguio City in the Philippines is still the defacto summer location of the
supreme court (judiciary branch of government), a similar situation as Chile
and a couple other countries, but is now coded as “Admin-0 cap alt”. However,
Quezon City and Pasay City are downgraded from Admin-0 capital alt to
“Populated place” as the recent constitution states that the entire admin-1
unit of Manila is the national capital and they fall inside that feature.
- CHANGED: The place name Wiener Neustadt in Austria (that is the proper name of the
city) had the wrong NAME attribute “Wiener”.
- CHANGED: Across the Mekong from Nakhon Phanom (Thailand), Natural Earth has a
settlement marked “Khammouan” in Laos. Khammouan(e) is the name of a province.
The actual city across the river appears to be the capital of said province,
Thakhek.
- CHANGED: San Carlos moved east out of Lake Nicaragua.
- CHANGED: Primarily in Iran, Egypt, and Lebanon. “Name in NEV” >> “Should be”:
Dayr az Zawr >> Dayr az Azwr, Khoramabad >> Khorramabad,
Shahr E Kord >> Shar e Kord, Zagizig >> Zagazig, Damanhr >> Damanhur,
Nabatiyet et Tahta >> Nabatiye et Tahta
- CHANGED: Greeneville, NC should be Greenville, NC
- CHANGED: Two point features labeled Bayankhongor in Mongolia. Kept the ’southern’
point, delete the northern one. Southern feature featureType changed to
“Admin-1 cap”.
