remap

Redraw the boundaries

Remap means to map again or differently—to reassign how one thing corresponds to another.

In computing, you remap keyboard keys so pressing one produces a different character, or remap controls in a video game to suit your preference.

The word applies broadly to any systematic reassignment: The city remapped voting districts after the census.
