Large Scale International Boundaries (LSIB)

Line features representing the international boundary, with boundary type and status attributes and line length. Published by the US Census Bureau for the United States.

Polygon boundaries of countries and territories worldwide, with names such as Afghanistan and Abyei (disp). Each feature represents one country or territory, and attributes include area and perimeter measurements. Published by Orion Terrametrics.

Natural Earth admin 0 boundary lines disputed areas at 1:10 million scale: public domain cartographic vector data built to make small-scale world, regional and country maps.

Global coastline boundaries at 1:10 million scale from Natural Earth, representing the boundary between land and sea. Derived from a combination of vector and raster sources and hand-edited for cartographic accuracy. Use this layer as a base map reference for continental and global-scale maps, coastal analysis, maritime boundary studies, and environmental assessments worldwide.

Natural Earth 10m Land Boundaries The Natural Earth 10m Land Boundaries dataset provides a generalized, small-scale representation of global land boundary features suitable for regional to global mapping applications. At a scale of 1:10 million, the dataset captures international boundaries between countries and sovereign entities, emphasizing cartographic clarity and performance over fine positional accuracy. The data is designed for thematic mapping, visualization, and analytical overviews where high detail is not required. Boundaries are simplified to reduce complexity while preserving the essential geographic relationships between territories. This makes the dataset particularly useful for web mapping, dashboards, atlases, and large-area spatial analyses. Compiled from a combination of public domain sources and curated by the Natural Earth project, the dataset ensures consistency in boundary representation across the globe. It supports a wide range of GIS platforms and is distributed in standard geospatial formats, enabling easy integration into mapping workflows. While suitable for visualization and general analysis, the dataset is not intended for legal, cadastral, or high-precision applications.

Global country boundary polygons at 1:10 million scale from Natural Earth, showing de facto boundaries based on who controls the territory. Includes country name, ISO codes, population, GDP, and continent attributes. Use this layer for global thematic mapping, international comparisons, political geography analysis, and as a reference base for world maps. No additional information provided.
