I'm looking for an oceans or coastlines shapefile that's a more detailed than what Natural Earth has to offer (1:10m).

I'm working with 2000 Census county shapefiles, but it doesn't cut out lakes or oceans. So the county boundaries are a bit blobby. If I clip it to Natural Earth's oceans, a sliver of New York County gets left inside King's County. (I'm a perfectionist using QGIS and Tilemill).

    So you only need the oceans surrounding the United States, right?

  • On closer inspection, I'm looking for lakes and oceans. Something to get the counties to hug the land. Currently reading over this last thread. gis.stackexchange.com/questions/9578/…
