Four regions, 25 towns, and the platted subdivisions inside them. Start wide, then work down to the streets. The point is to see how the interstate, the highways, the canyons and the county lines separate one of these places from the next.
Town points come from the community records. Subdivision outlines are county reference boundaries, not surveys, and load only for the town you open. Verify the legal description, the recorded plat and utility service by address.
