You have to set the path of Proj lib as in newer version , this path has been replaced. Write below two lines of code before importing matplot_toolkits

      import os
      os.environ['PROJ_LIB'] = r'C:\Users\XXXXX\Anaconda3\pkgs\proj4-5.2.0-

To find the path of Proj_lib , just search epsg and then copy this epsg file location and put in proj_lib . Your Problem will be solved.

  os.environ['PROJ_LIB'] = r'/home/XXXXXX/anaconda3/pkgs/proj4-5.2.0-
