Hi,

"Is there a better way to do this?"

Yes, try Vector/geoprocessing tools/clip.  Select the US, in the countries files, select "district" as input layer in the clip tool GUI and the country file as the Ovelay layer (use selected features only if you have pre-selected the US).

Good luck

Nicolas

Here are the 3 layer files I used in this project. I did make some progress on my own as you can see the final product on test3.kml. I did this by manually deleting every "point" In edit mode I selected points and then used the delete button. Sometimes I would delete points within the US and then re-create the shape. Is there a better way to do this? If I want an exact custom map with the US as an outline is there a way to accomplish this? Maybe import a file with US longitudes and latitudes?

    Hi Kenny,

    You have only sent the qgis project and not the files that the
    project opens.  You must send all the files if you want us to look
    at the project.

    Cheers

    Nicolas

    I have attached a qgis file that I am trying to edit down. I only
    want a custom map of the US. I have clipped the vectors that
    don't contain the US but anything that has the part of the US I
    can not delete/cut out. The end goal is to have a map of the US
    with custom districts. I have tried all "Select by features, by
    polygon, by freehand" and not had any luck. Any advice would be
    greatly appreciated.
