Hello,
I have been trying to make a map using census tract shape file obtained from Census Bureau.
I am not sure if it is the issue with spmap command that produces distorted boundaries (see the attached image) across the region (census tract).
Below is the code that I used. The blurred region could be the major cities like Austin, Houston, and Dallas in TX and maybe the issue is due to the fact that there are so many regions overlapped to fit in the map size.
In addition, the right corner (south-east), the boundary is also strange because there are unnecessary lines at the end of the border. If anyone knows how to fix these problems, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Code:
spmap X1 using "example.dta", id(id) fcolor(Reds2) clmethod(custom) clbreaks(0 1 2) polygon(data(Tracts_coord.dta) ocolor(black)) legend(label(2 "1 store (54)") label(3 "2 stores (2)"))
