This data layer provides a resonablly detailed coastline. This is a subset of the complete 50 states compiled from the higher resolution state shapefile datasets provided by Environmental Research Institution, Inc. (ESRI) as data distribution with their software. Purpose: This ArcView shapefile may be used as a general basemap data layer to illustrate the United States boundaries and coastline.
