'filter' is for getting a subset of the elements in a collection. For getting the names of the provinces, what you want is to get all the keys from your 'provs' map, which can be done via the 'keys' function.
user=> (keys provs) ("p1" "p2" "p3" "p4") Personally, I find ClojureDocs' Quick Reference tremendously helpful whenever I'm looking for a function to do something: http://clojuredocs.org/quickref/Clojure%20Core Hope this helps!
