They are also important for locating historic information, even something as basic as a birth or death record. Nevertheless, unincorporated communities are important because they are real places where people live and work.
Only a small fraction are tracked by the Census Bureau. They show up on some maps and not others. Because they lack legal status – unlike incorporated cities and villages – unincorporated communities aren’t mapped very consistently.
Unincorporated communities are typically small population clusters in rural areas. In this post I’m going to illustrate how simple My Maps is by creating a map of unincorporated communities in Kewaunee county. It’s a great way to make a quick web map for a project you’re working on or construct a simple prototype of a more complex web app you’re hoping to build. It takes only minutes to make a My Map and no specialized software is needed. My Maps are also mobile-ready, which means they function correctly on your smart phone, not just on your computer. If you want to add your map to an existing website you can embed it using an HTML iframe tag. You can share the resulting map with anyone using a web link, and you can even designate specific people as editors using the Drive Sharing option, making collaboration possible. This tool allows you to load multiple layers of map data (point, line or area), change colors and symbols, and import photographs. Google’s My Map tool is an easy way (maybe THE easiest way) to make a simple web map.
