Filtering Google “My Maps” locations
I am generating a list of names, emails, and locations. I know that I can use "My Maps" by Google to map them. I can also draw shapes in My Maps.
Is it possible to filter the large dataset to which points fall within a particular shape? If so, how?

While you can draw custom shapes using the line tool within My Maps, it's going to be hard to filter specifically on any of your custom shapes. Your options are creating your own shapes or lines, or using the circle, rectangle, and polygon tools within MyMaps.
Here is a good overview along with examples:

I think your best bet for filtering will be to add your shapes and classify your locations within layers. This way, you can assign particular location types a specific shape, then add those to one layer, and repeat for the other locations. Then filter by layer after that.
