[Qgis-us-user] Outline Maps

Hi Dave , 
 
sure it can.
You will need  the boundaries dataset e.g. can download from here 
https://www.naturalearthdata.com/downloads/
and the point (or area) dataset for the Cities. Then you load both layers in
QGIS 
, set the Symbology and choose a representation for the cities (can be X or
whatever you like) e.g. see here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5v5_lEdGpSw
 
Cheers
Karsten

I'm not even a 'user' yet.  I'm at the first step of what appears to be a
very steep learning curve.   

 

I am interested in outline maps of U.S. states & any & all countries.  I'd
like to mark city locations with a "X".  Can that be done simply?
