Add Municipal Boundaries
HaydenElza opened this issue · comments
Add an opt-in option to show the municipal boundary of the clicked location. This would place the municipal boundary on the map (perhaps dotted/dashed) and report the municipal name and type in the sidebar.
Use the scobase_wi_municipal_boundaries_spring_2019 dataset on Carto. A similar dataset called pronounce_town_city_village is used in the Pronounce WI app as seen below.
The interface would look similar to the satellite where you would toggle on "Municipal Boundaries". The selected boundary for that location would be added to the map and a section below the toggle would be added with the name/type.
The municipal boundary can be added similar to how we add the townships, sections, etc. Query using point and return geojson which is added to a map layer. The sidebar section might look something like this when activated:
And like this when off:
The dataset pronounce_town_city_village has simplified boundaries, vs scobase_wi_municipal_boundaries_spring_2019, which reflects the boundaries from the original LTSB dataset
@Wiscmapper This could be a good student project. Seems easy enough and could be used as a good carto js learning exercise.
Sure. How about you make this one of the first things you work with Rachel and Mike on later this semester?
Sounds good.
