Dataset Details

The Pacific Coastline of North America, Alaska to Mexico

Last updated 8/31/2026

About Dataset

This dataset describes the Pacific coastline of North America from Alaska to Mexico (including island features) using the best available spatial layers, circa 2005. The input data scales ranged between 24k and 100k, with the majority of the US and Canadian coastlines being closer to 1:24000. Some islands have been attributed with their formal names, but in many cases they are simply labeled "island". In a few locations the outline polygons have been edited to match aerial photos for better alignment (primarily for mapping purposes).
