Hi,
I'm trying to take a table of polygons that split my physical area of interest into 700 chunks. I'm tasked with taking each section and putting it into a layout for making backup paper maps. The layout is no problem, it's the automating of showing the selected section in the map frame that is not working for some reason. I'm new to ArcPy but my research so far seems to point to arcp.da.SearchCursor as the class to carry this out. Like so:

I'm using ArcGIS Pro 2.4.0. Appreciate any assistance, thanks!
