Creating Basemap map
Basemap allows you to create maps in Python. The library builds projections for latitude and longitude coordinates and then passes the plotting work on to matplotlib. This means you can build extra features based on the power of matplotlib.
In this exercise, we're going to set up a map of the continental United States on a Mercator projection. The corner coordinates of this map are provided for you below.
