That might take a while.  The data used to render coastlines is generated
irregularly on approximately a monthly basis.  You can take a look at an
area a little ways north where I've done the same thing:

Yeah.  The TIGER data for Anne Arundel County was really horrid at the

of the county (areas near BWI, Fort Meade, and Laurel), but there's a lot
left to do.
