Wow, sorry, Malaish - I never even saw this post til now.

Since it's possible to import the shapefiles based upon county
from the US Census, it is also possible to draw a 25-mile perimeter
around each county shape.

Once the shape is closed, there are three possibilities for pushpins:

1) Inside the county shape
2) Inside the perimeter shape minus inside the county shape
3) Outside the perimeter

HTH,
