DRAW THE LINES
Citizen Map-Making Resources
Fair Maps Texas aims to place map-making skills into the hands of the people. When people can draw their own maps, they can identify important features about their community –– key resources, people, and problems –– that bind them together. This will foster communication and discussions with our elected officials that will help our politicians gain a deeper understanding of the region.
