+Drawing Coastlines, Rivers and Political Boundaries
+===================================================
+
+Basemap includes the
+`GSSH <http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/wessel/gshhs/gshhs.html>`_
+coastline dataset, as well as datasets for rivers, state and
+country boundaries from
+`GMT <http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu>`_.
+These datasets can be used to draw coastlines, rivers and political
+boundaries on maps at several different resolutions. The relevant Basemap
+methods are:
+
+* :func:`~mpl_toolkits.basemap.Basemap.drawcoastlines`: draw coastlines.
+* :func:`~mpl_toolkits.basemap.Basemap.fillcontinents`: color the interior
+ of continents (by filling the coastline polygons).
+* :func:`~mpl_toolkits.basemap.Basemap.drawcountries`: draw country boundaries.
+* :func:`~mpl_toolkits.basemap.Basemap.drawstates`: draw state boundaries
+ in North America.
+* :func:`~mpl_toolkits.basemap.Basemap.drawrivers`: draw rivers.
