For my SQL*Loader book, I downloaded a partial list of place names
from the U.S. Geological Survey web site. There's a file for each
state, and the number of names is quite large. Unfortunately, the data
structure is fairly simple, so you don't necessarily end up with many
tables. Though you could derive tables of county names, airport names,
township names, and the like.

Best regards,
