I have my data frame clipped to the Data Driven page which is indexed to my county layer. I have a local roads layer and I want the labels to appear on the outside of the data driven page/data frame like in the below image. The roads go beyond what is in the data frame as it is clipped.&nbsp;I am&nbsp;afraid that might cause issues as the end or the beginning of the road line may not fall within the county. Any ideas on how I can accomplish this without manually creating every road label for every county?</P><P></P><P><IMG class="image-1 jive-image" src="https://community.esri.com/legacyfs/online/283410_pastedImage_2.png" /></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 14 Dec 2016 20:24:03 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/cartography-and-maps-questions/labeling-in-arcgis-desktop/m-p/848826#M639 Anonymous User 2016-12-14T20:24:03Z Re: Labeling in ArcGIS Desktop https://community.esri.com/t5/cartography-and-maps-questions/labeling-in-arcgis-desktop/m-p/848827#M640 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>One way that you may wish to consider is to create your own<A href="https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/10.4/map/page-layouts/creating-custom-overlay-grids.htm"> custom overlay </A>grid from a roads feature class that contains the gridded road network.&nbsp; Use the ROADNAME field for the Labelfield when you create it.&nbsp; Once created, go to Data Frame Properties, click the Grids tab, and Style... from the button list on the right.&nbsp; Select your newly created Custom Overlay grid - voila!</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 14 Dec 2016 22:19:09 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/cartography-and-maps-questions/labeling-in-arcgis-desktop/m-p/848827#M640 Robert_LeClair 2016-12-14T22:19:09Z Re: Labeling in ArcGIS Desktop https://community.esri.com/t5/cartography-and-maps-questions/labeling-in-arcgis-desktop/m-p/848828#M641 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I'm almost there! I created the custom overlay except it draws all the roads outside of the county even though my data frame is clipped to my data driven page.
