A popular use-case of GIS is defining boundaries. These boundaries go by many names: service areas, sales territories, attendance areas, caseloads, wards, legislative districts. This blog post will walk through a simple workflow designing areas in the state of Virginia to serve the veteran population.

To follow along with the blog tutorial, start with a new project and a blank map in ArcGIS Pro. This short tutorial will guide you through a quick workflow for designing your own custom service areas using ready-to-use content from ArcGIS Living Atlas.
