How do I get county data to join with online county map?

BradWeisenstein · ‎02-19-2015

I'm a neophyte, so please bear with me.

I successfully built a map with ArcGIS for desktop using county data for Illinois counties, but can't get it to export to the web and have been unable to rebuild it on the web with ArcGIS Online. The trouble seems to be defining the geography when "subregion" and "region" are the only choices (vs. "county" and "state."

Here's the exported map: http://bnd.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=516b6a4e2928496f8a894654ee28ce62

Here's the base for the online map: http://bnd.maps.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?webmap=83cf02373bab41468240d9ec9126c45f

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks.

For a start, open access to your example links would be nice.

I could get the CSV to import and show like this:

AGO Map: http://arcg.is/1vMzs33

The county data was added as an address type with the county name specified as "City" and state name as "State" and then symbolized on POP_2013. Not sure if you can actually link or join the CSV data to another layer on ArcGIS Online. You might have to join the data to the counties before you upload to AGO.
