Instructions
1. Create image map, instructions here. Hint: When entering the name of the page for the county in the "Href" box, I usually copy and paste these county names so I don't misspell them and then have to "move" or rename the template)
 * a. You may see %2C after the name of the county in the first line of code.
 * b. You must change the %2C to a comma . The wiki does not recognize the %2C.

2. Save the image coding as a template, for example: template:KS Allen County.
 * a. Must have the word "template:" as part of the name of the image template. Note the colon.
 * b. First two capital letters are the two letter post office codes for each state.
 * c. Next is the name of the county for which you are creating the image map.
 * d. Add the this line of code to the bottom of all the code. This give the image map a category.

Note the noinclude just means that the text for the category will not show on the page even though it has been placed in a category. 3.Limit size to 250px. See Help:Wiki_University_Wikitext--Image_Maps 4. Here is a completed template for Allen County, Kansas as an example:
