Dear Mathew, most of the basemap methods take an "ax=" keyword (drawparallels, drawmeridians, drawmapboundary and so on). Furthermore, you can transform your lat/long coordinates to projected coordinates with the __call__ method and then simply plot those directly. You can thus plot basemaps on any Axes instance. For an example of all this, I can point you to my script make_buchner_interommatidial_distance_figure.py in the most recent release of http://code.astraw.com/drosophila_eye_map/ . There may be good examples distributed with basemap, too -- I can't remember.
