Is there a way to import a shapefile into the regular map (not the shape map) so that you can create a custom boundary around your markers? I don't see a way of doing this with the regular map, but I have a need for it. Is there perhaps some hack or a different visual that allows you to add a custom boundary AND use values to mark points on the map?

@Domenick Not with the standard map visuals that I know of. Maybe ArcGIS map or Icon Map by James Dales.
Hi @Domenick ,
Based on my test, you could use the ArcGIS map by applying a Reference Layer to set up the boundries.
