How it's calculated

County polygons come from US Census cartographic boundaries (us-atlas, TopoJSON). The map renders all counties as vector layers; selection highlights the chosen polygon and fits the view to it.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find a specific county?

Type at least two letters of its name in the search box and pick from the matches.

What is shown when I click a county?

Its name, state, and five-digit FIPS code.

Does this include Alaska and Hawaii?

Yes — all boroughs, parishes, and county-equivalents nationwide.

Why do counties look simplified at low zoom?

The 10m-resolution boundaries balance detail with fast loading; zoom in for crisper edges.

Can I use this to identify a county from an address?

For address-to-county lookup, the county finder (reverse geocoding) is more direct.

What is a county-equivalent?

Areas that function as counties but are not called counties — e.g. Louisiana parishes, Alaska boroughs, independent cities.

Is the map data downloadable?

The underlying boundaries are public domain US Census data via the us-atlas project.

Does it work offline?

No — the boundary file is fetched from a CDN on first load.
