I have solved this several times (last time just now) by downloading it from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs and follow the instructions to install. From the anaconda command prompt

pip install full_path_to_package

For example, if you downloaded basemap-1.1.0-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl, you would run

pip install C:\path\to\file\basemap-1.1.0-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl

Note that the python version of the .whl file must match your python version. For example, ...-cp36-.... indicates Python 3.6. You can find your python version by running the command python --version.
