maptile
A stata program that makes mapping easy.
These geography templates are freely available for anyone to download and use. They were created using public domain or openly licensed inputs.
Click on the [+] in the left margin to toggle the details open or shut.
If there is no geography corresponding to the region that you want to map, it is not difficult to make a new geography. See the maptile help file for instructions. You can use demo_maptile.ado and demo_maptile.smcl as a template. Then send me an e-mail if you want to host it here to share with others!
