Get outer border of regions USA

In USA, I'm looking for outline of the Division 9 Pacific which consists of the following states:

  • Alaska
  • California
  • Hawaii
  • Oregon
  • Washington

I have got a map with the KML to generate for these states: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1lYAaPc-U3sv6hUlbhBsQJ0vzXfw&usp=sharing

But I just want the outline of the whole area and NOT the state borders. How can I get this?

Solution

  • Can be done by using a GIS software like ArcGIS.

    First you convert the kml file to a layer, then you dissolve the borders and then export a new layer to a kml file which would look something like this
