USGS typically provides coastline and border geometry as downloadable data-sets. Will be a good place to start.

I used USGS data to generate the dymaxion maps, but I had to write a custom importer script to convert the coordinate data into polylines. I no longer have this script.

There are free shapefiles to search online that have boundaries, roads etc from the USA, that you could easily import with @it, elk or other gis data plugins for grasshopper
