<p>&nbsp;You can now get maps of New England with Minor Civil Divisions.</p>
<p>Minor civil division (MCD) is a term used by the United States Census  Bureau to designate administrative divisions such as townships or  incorporated municipalities and towns.<br /><br />In Illustrator, each MCD  is a separate object you can select and change the color. All text is  fully editable font text (not outlines). Use as-is, or color the MCDs to  show sales territories.</p>
<p>These unique maps are available for each state, or for the region.</p>
