Prototypes of the P.L. 94-171 State Legislative District Voting District Map series are available for all state legislative districts (SLDs) that are wholly or partially in Providence County, RI. These state legislative district-based reference maps show and label the state legislative districts and voting districts (VTDs) as submitted during state participation in the early phases of the Census Redistricting Data Program. Two separate map types make up this series: one that displays State Legislative Districts – Upper Chamber (SLDUs) and one that displays the State Legislative Districts – Lower Chamber (SLDLs). Each of these maps shows the extent of the subject SLD, as well as the surrounding SLDs of the same type. In addition to SLDs and VTDs, these maps also show and label federal and state American Indian reservations, Alaska Native areas, Hawaiian home lands, states, counties, county subdivisions (in states where they function as governmental units), and places. The maps also display a base feature network including roads, railroads, and water bodies. Each SLD is covered by one or more parent map sheets at a single scale. Inset map sheets at larger scales are created as required to show the map content described above. An index map sheet showing the sheet configuration is created for all SLDs requiring more than one parent sheet. The map sheet size is 36 by 32 inches. 

Each map is accompanied by a VTD to Map Sheet (VTD2MS) relationship file. This semicolon delimited text file contains the code and name for each VTD in the SLD, and lists map sheet numbers where each VTD appears.

A catalog file including the file name, entity name, and total number of map sheets is available in the directory with the maps.
