Municipal Level Maps

[Torie]

Some of those lines in some states are village lines, rather than city lines, and often precinct lines overlap village lines. Villages typically have quite limited government powers. Sometimes you can tell which are city lines, and which village lines, because the DRA utility will typically have a different number sequence between different cities, and different towns, identifying the respective precincts, but not for different villages. And then to make matters more complicated, often there are no lines between towns, or townships, and so one must look at the precinct number sequences, to find where the lines are. In Illinois, the town names are actually identified for each precinct, but in other states not. There is quite a learning curve here actually.
