How to retrieve a static map showing city or municipality boundaries

I'm not sure where to start looking in the documentation, but I'm trying to load map images of cities with their boundaries outlined.

Like this...

Fort Worth map including boundaries

Any help getting started would be greatly appreciated, I'm pretty new to the maps api.

Thanks

Just search the city name in Google maps and you can easily find out the boundary line of your city. Like I search Delhi and Google maps shows me the Delhi with its territory. How do you map multiple points on Google Maps?

Is Google Static Maps free?

The Maps Static API uses a pay-as-you-go pricing model. Requests for the Maps Static API are billed under the SKU for Static Maps. Along with the overall Google Terms of Use, there are usage limits specific to the Maps Static API.

There is currently no way to request a map with boundaries automatically rendered on it. Your best bet is to pull the polygon information from another system and render using an encoded polyline if you're using the Static Map API or regular overlays in the JavaScript API.
