2011/12/16 Redistricting Maps online
Submitted by DaveShehorn on Sat, 2011-12-17 06:43This PDF contains the Clark County inset maps that have enough detail to let you zoom in and approximate your location. Most streets are not labeled, so a bit of interpretation is required. Boundary Streets are labeled (for the most part). These proposed maps have Clark County in 5 Legislative Districts: 15, 17, 18, 20, 49. Woodland, Kalama are in the 20thLD; La Center, Yacolt, Ridgefield are in the 18thLD; Battle Ground is mostly in the 18thLD, with some southern portions in the 17thLD.
