JSON Files

I've been looking for JSON files for counties in Montana and I can't seem to find any that are free.  Can anybody tell me where to look?  Thanks.

Hi @jgarden6 

This page has individual maps for the states, showing the counties in each

GitHub - deldersveld/topojson

 

Download this PBIX file that has some sample data and a map I put together

Thank you so much.  That did solve my problem.  But I would like to put labels in the map.  Is there anyway to do this.  Currently, I'm using tooltips so when the user "hovers" over the map, the into is shown but I would like it to show on the map without hovering.

Hi @jgarden6 

Unfortunately the map visuals don't allow labels on the map.

Have you tried this

GitHub - topojson/us-atlas: Pre-built TopoJSON from the U.S. Census Bureau.

I'm reall new to JSON files.  I wne to the link you gave me.  I t looks like it has all counties in the us.  Is there a way to get just the counties in MT.  I'm trying to do a shape map and maybe my county name file is the problem.  Again, I am totally new to this.
