I'm relatively new to GIS, and I'm wondering if there's a centralized dataset that maps the names of bodies of water (i.e. "Black Sea") to polygons, so that I can have an exact outline of the place in question.



I believe I could reverse geocode the location and iterate over a list of polygons in some dataset like from OpenStreetMap or something, but there has to be a faster way.



Also, mapping land masses would be a plus too!
