Drawing maps in Stata using the geoplot command

Ben Jann

Sociology Virtual Symposium 2026 from Stata Users Group

Abstract: geoplot is a powerful Stata command for drawing maps from shape files and other datasets. Multiple layers of elements such as regions, borders, lakes, roads, labels, and symbols can be freely combined, and the look of elements (for example, their colors) can be varied depending on the values of variables. Compared with previous solutions in Stata, geoplot provides more user convenience, more functionality, and more flexibility. In this talk, I will give an overview of the command and illustrate its use with examples.
