Welcome
Welcome to the Michigan District Locater Map. This web application displays the boundaries of both the 2001 and 2011 legislative (State Senate and State House) and congressional (U.S House of Representatives) districts that were established by the Michigan Legislature. For reference purposes only, Voting Tabulation Districts (VTD) and jurisdiction boundaries are also provided. The District Map Locator also includes aerial photography provided by Microsoft Bing Maps. For additional information regarding the data used in this application, click here.

Layers
The 2011 congressional, State Senate and State House district layers of the map were built from 2010 Census Block information that was incorporated into redistricting legislation enacted by the Legislature (Public Acts 128 and 129 of 2011)
The VTDs were derived from census data and are approximations of local precinct boundaries as they existed at the time of the 2010 General Election, and do not necessarily correspond exactly to actual precinct boundaries as they exist today.
The jurisdiction boundaries were constructed by the Center for Shared Solutions and Technical Partnerships (CSSTP), a division of the Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget. Jurisdiction boundaries and 2001 legislative and congressional district layers were derived from the Michigan Geographic Framework dataset (version 10a). Because of the different sources for these layers, the boundaries may not correspond exactly with 2011 legislative/congressional layers.
Toggle layer visibility by clicking the corresponding checkbox.
