What a U.S. map of Sub-State Regions might look like. This is an old graphic that was not GIS generated.
The maps and links are from my paper: "The Sub-State District/Regional Council as a Geospatial Unit of Analytical Geography for the United States" presented March 25, 2011 at the Southern Regional Science Association (SRSA) Annual Meeting, New Orleans, Louisiana
The work builds on my paper: "Global Region-builder Geo-Code Prototype" presented at Regional Studies Association, Pécs, Hungary, May 25, 2010 and 57th Annual North American meetings of the Regional Science Association International Denver, Colorado,
November 13, 2010
The PowerPoints for these presentations are at: www.slideshare.net/regional
