No usable geography pins yet. The page is prepared for source-linked locations, but it is not presenting inferred activity as verified.

Operational map preview

Map rendering is intentionally restrained. This is not an official GIS boundary. GOPAtlas stores geography metadata first so Leaflet, Mapbox, official GeoJSON, precinct layers, and turnout overlays can be added without changing civic records.

Boundary layer

Phase 1 stores boundary metadata and GeoJSON-ready overlay slots. Official polygon imports can replace these lightweight outlines later.
