Perfect for fitting together nicely... Inkscape must have a similar function- not to mention the possible conflation artifacts- but that is another question (with many answers here on GDSE. | |

I'll definitely use that next time. However even with that beginning (which will save a lot of work) there is still a lot of moving shared boundaries in the work I'm doing. | |

If the former, you can certainly use a Division boolean operation to create something like a map without overlapping paths see example. The black lines here used for the division boolean operation need to be a combined (or compound) path for this to work. | |
