<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">hello,<br>
I need help selecting a datasource to produce the following: a basic,
high-resolution land map, showing ONLY coastlines and bodies of water. <br>
basically, Im trying to emulate a type of image tiling that I found
on another site, which I believe is also being produced using mapserver, but Im
unsure about which data source/shapefile is being used. <br>
 <br>
Ive ATTACHED the image. <br>
You can see that image includes a high-resolution map of the florida coast, including interior bodies of
water.<br>
 <br>
Ive tried using the "admin98.shp" and
"world_vector_shorelines.shp" in order to recreate these results, but
these two shapefiles dont include interior bodies of water (lakes, ponds,
etc.). Ive ALSO tried using the gshhs shapefiles (<a href="http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/shorelines/gshhs.html" target="_blank">http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/shorelines/gshhs.html</a>),
and these *seem* like they might work, but they are broken up into separate
shapefiles for coastal outline, lakes, ponds, etc., and these shapefiles are IN
LINES instead of POLYGONS/POLYLINES, so I cannot figure out how to
"fill" the space between "lines" with a different
color  in order to make the landmasses and interior bodies of
water "stand out".<br>
 <br>
So, simply put, my question is: can someone please help me figure out /
recommend which data source I should use in order to produce output similiar to
the image Ive attached? just high-resolution coastal outline and interior
bodies of water IN decimal degrees (WGS1984?), please help....<br>
