district maps

Regional boundary diagrams

District maps are visual representations showing the boundaries of administrative, electoral, or other designated areas within a larger region.

The term often appears in political contexts, where district maps determine which voters belong to which congressional or legislative districts.

Because these boundaries affect election outcomes, drawing district maps is frequently contentious, with accusations of gerrymandering—manipulating boundaries for partisan advantage.
