Jeremy,
If you have access to the shapefile for county boundaries, you can call
basemap's readshapefile() function to draw the counties. You can specify
line properties just like you would for a call to plotting the state
boundaries.
As a matter of fact, drawstates() is, essentially, a call to
readshapefile(), but it refers to a file that came packaged with basemap for
convenience.
I hope that helps,
Ben Root
