Map your community.
A community of interest is a shared neighborhood, parish, school zone, language community, or local economy whose members have common civic concerns. Drawing it on a county map turns lived knowledge into a record that organizers, civic groups, and public bodies can read. Pick your county, zoom in until your streets and landmarks look right, draw the boundary, and download your files.
- 1. Choose your county. The map zooms to that county and outlines it.
- 2. Use the pencil tool in the top-left of the map to draw your boundary by clicking points. Click the first point again or double-click to finish.
- 3. Fill in the community name, a short description, and any optional tags or testimony.
- 4. Download a GeoJSON file and a PDF summary for your records.
Drag to pan, scroll or pinch to zoom. The map shows main roads, place names, and landmarks from OpenStreetMap so you can orient by your neighborhood.
A record drawn by the people who live there.
Redistricting, school boundary changes, and zoning decisions often split communities that share everyday life. When residents map their own community, they give public bodies a record grounded in lived experience rather than precinct math alone. Fair representation depends on institutions recognizing communities the way they actually exist on the ground.
