In our shop we call the outline a "binding line" and the lighter band a "boundary band". I suspect that one or both of these terms is "local usage" and I'm wondering what others call them.

On the Esri Mapping Center they called them "tint bands".

I would probably say boundary line and boundary inset, but that partly reflects the name of the tool I'm using to do it.

I usually say "outside" and "inside" lines, or "main" and "inset" lines (because we use an Illustrator multiline style to do this usually). We use those both for actual territorial boundaries and for "see more detailed map at right" areas, so "boundary" is a little to specific for this effect for us.

Interests:I am a Cartographer with varied experience. I work primarily as a freelancer. In my freelancing career I have worked with Maps.com, Designmaps.com, 3dmaps and various other map making and cartography sites.
I have varied software experience, however I use almost all the Cartography and quite a few GIS software, Illustrator, Freehand, Adobe Photoshop and Mapinfo to be precise. I have also worked on Microstation and other Intergraph software including Stereo Photogrammetry on ZI Photo Suites. The other software that I utilize for various other tasks specially 3D realism are Global Mapper and Maprenderer 3D.
Global mapper is a versatile software for various conversion and I found Maprenderer 3D for producing stunning 3D images from height data.
I am available for freelance work, right from mundane line digitisation to Illustrator / Freehand Cartography. Just send me a mail at promapper@gmail.com -

The boundry line is just that, and the colored shade line is a vignette.
