I don't know of any maps that show just what you are looking for, but with any basic GIS you should be able to use these files (Incorporated Places/Census Designated Places) to find what you need. When using the Incorporated Places/Census Designated Places file you need to select on LSAD (short for "Legal Statistical Area Description") equal to "57", or select on LSAD_TRANS equal to "CDP" (short for Census Designated Place). These are defined in the Census Bureau's online glossary as "A statistical area defined for a census as a densely settled concentration of population that is not incorporated but which resembles an incorporated place in that it can be identified with a name." http://www.census.gov/geo/www/cob/bdy_files.html Andy McIntire Cartographer US Census Bureau "Maps, Air Photo & Geospatial Systems Forum" <[log in to unmask]> wrote on 11/14/2005 04:47:51 PM: > Subject: unincorporated maps > Date: Mon, 14 Nov 2005 > From: Peter Ogur <[log in to unmask]> > To: <[log in to unmask]> > > To Whom It May Concern: > > I am trying to find a gis map of unincorporated municipalities in the US. > Do you know if a map of this type exists.
