Maps are used for all kinds of planning purposes immediately before and during a census. Activities that use maps include the allocation of enumerators to territory; the identification of rugged or inaccessible areas; managing logistics for the transportation of field staff and supplies; locating hard-to-enumerate populations and collective living quarters; delineating administrative boundaries at multiple levels; monitoring census progress; and creating locator maps.
