Basemap should show ocean borders between US and Canada, plus disputed areas #11

Something for @katewatkins to keep in mind, too.

There is a border dispute in the arctic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaufort_Sea#Border_dispute

And one at the Southeast end of Alaska: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dixon_Entrance

Do we need to show the border in the Great Lakes? Yes, probably, for consistency.

Also, we need to keep in mind the bit of ocean that is part of France around St. Pierre and Miquelon, but this is already included on my recent basemaps: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Pierre_and_Miquelon

Unfortunately, neither of the Canada EEZ files I have include Canada's cleams in the Beaufort Sea or the Dixon Entrance. Nor does Natural Earth have this data. Need to find another source.

The Canadian planning areas do show the Canadian claims, so I'll be able to use those to assemble the disputed areas for the basemap:
