2019 02: Commissioners' Map of the Month

Ranging from a Rand McNally-style roadway map and a regional transit map to a commute flow diagram and a diversity index, each map shows the viewer a geography of the region that differs and changes based upon the particular subject being considered or particular policy that is being confronted. In many cases, city and county boundaries do not matter, as the spatial units that are in focus can be much larger (air shed) or much smaller (Priority Development Areas). Instead, these maps and their varying scales of interest emphasize the need to work together and to plan regionally and mega-regionally.
