Generate polygons for rows with no geo info

KerryMcClain — Fri, 05 Dec 2025 19:23:09 GMT

So here's what I'm trying to figure out...

We have ~68k accounts in our database. Of these, ~58k have polygons tied to physical parcels in the real world. The remainder are different types of accounts that are not tied to geography, but I'd like to find a way to represent these accounts in an interface alongside the accounts that are mapped. Not sure if there's a way to generate like a generic square polygon for all of the non-mapped accounts, then space them out so they would all be visible so they can be seen in the same view as the mapped accounts.

Is there a way to achieve this, or should I keep trying to dream up another approach?

Thank you,
Kerry

maybe generate a tesselation (triangles, squares) in a blank/unobtrusive area of your extent.

each "person" would get their own shape and you wouldn't have to generate one shape at a time

Do the unmapped records have any relevant addresses in the data that could be geocoded to points then buffered to create a polygon? That would spread the data through your parceled map.

When you say “interface” are you thinking of an ArcGIS Enterprise or Online experience builder app? That opens up plenty of opportunities to filter these particular records and display them within that kind of interface in their own special way.
