Updating the eeps data zoo 🙂, I noticed that I could not see Doña Ana county in New Mexico when I made a map and linked the boundary file. I tried “Dona Ana,” no joy. There are a few more counties on the map that show up blank.

Any idea why? Is there a mechanism to fix this?

Hi Tim,

The reason why is that there is a funny character in the entry for Doña Ana county in the CODAP document that is the source of the boundary files. You can see the “�” in the enclosed screenshot. I’ll make sure it’s fixed soon.

You mention that there are other counties that show up blank. How do you recommend I determine which ones they are?

Thanks for your help making these data better!

Bill
