The coordinates of the boundaries are transformed to map projection coordinates, and clipped to the map projection region. So, if you have been doing this successfully, you've been lucky.
However, you can and should reuse Basemap instances, to make multiple plots on the same map projection region. You can even pickle them, to reuse in other scripts. -Jeff -- Jeffrey S.
