DRAW A MAP

-​

Please see below for public mapping tools to assist the public in drawing maps. There are different tools for different purposes, and different tools for different levels of technical skill and interest.

A variety of map-drawing tools will be available:

Mapping Tools:

1. Paper-only maps for those without internet access or who prefer paper.

Tools needed:

Submit any form of hand-drawn map that identifies street names.

2. Dave’s Redistricting (DRA 2020) is a free web app to create, view, analyze and share redistricting maps.

Tools needed:

• DRA 2020
• “How To” guide

If you would like to submit a map created using your own software, please email to soneal@exetercityhall.com and include: (1) a GIS Shapefile and/or a Census Block equivalency file (using 2020 Census Blocks); and, (2) a description of the choices and key points of your map.

Submit maps to soneal@exetercityhall.com. After you submit your map, the demographic consultants will generate the population and other demographic details for your proposed map. Maps can be viewed on the Draft Maps page or on the Interactive Review Map.

It is helpful if you submit written comments with your map describing how your map was drawn to meet the required criteria. An example of this would be describing the specific neighborhoods or communities of interest that are kept within a single district.
