The way to get there from within maps.lds.org is to click on the little grid icon down in the bottom right corner and then select Ward Map

Am I able to view the Stake and Ward boundaries of other Stakes? Or Mission and Temple boundaries?

There are three maps programs at LDS.org. Use the Ward Map application for your own ward/branch and stake/District. Use the Meetinghouse Locator for all other units. I have only been able to see the unit boundaries and not the stake boundaries, or mission, or temple boundaries in that program. To see the boundaries of other stakes, missions, temples I've had to use the Classic LDS Maps program.

For unit leaders, there's also CDOL. I'm not sure as classic LDS Maps is still available. At least, I'm not able to find the link.

It is still there. In the current maps it is an option under the grid icon in the bottom right corner.

Ooops. I mis-typed. I'm on IE11 and it's not there. I do see it in Chrome.

I forgot that lds.org is one of the few places I use IE11 on my home machine.

Interesting. In IE11 both the help and grid icons are not visible. But if you click on the location where they should be you can get the help or grid menu.

I just checked IE11 and it doesn't show, but if you know it's there you can hover over it and get the tool tip or click on it. Now that's a real easter egg :).

I didn't realize the Classic Maps site was still available. Thanks for the reminder. A lot of things worked really well there, including the boundaries. You can still see some boundaries on the Meetinghouse Locator site, but it's not as nice as the classic maps; you have to click on each unit to see the unit's boundaries.

Need to view maps for euless 3rd ward boundaries

If you are not in the Hurst Texas Stake you will need to use the Classic LDS Maps to view the boundaries of the Euless 3rd Ward.
You can access the Classic LDS Maps by clicking the Maps apps icon in the lower right corner of the Meetinghouse Locator app. The Maps apps icon looks like nine squares laid out in a 3 blocks by 3 blocks arrangement.

If you live in the Hurst Texas Stake you should be able to see the boundaries for all the wards within the Hurst Texas Stake in the Ward Map app.

How can we change the boundaries shown on the digital version on LDS.org to match the hard copy ones that the stake has. We lose 6-10 families with the digital edition.

Where did the hard copy come from? Someone may have misinterpreted the description of the boundaries.

It's possible the Stake President will have to submit the "change" as if it's a boundary re-alignment.

How does one go about getting a grid icon in the bottom right corner? I don’t have one, and I’d like to view the boundary for the mission that covers where I live. There’s also nothing in the CDOL.

BTW, I was a ward clerk ten years ago and a regular user of this forum, even though I’m being portrayed as a new member. :-)

Good question. I see it even if I'm not logged in, so I don't think it's calling dependent. You might try using Chrome or at least something Chromium-based. I think that engine tends to be more reliable on church sites.
TerrySackett wrote:There’s also nothing in the CDOL.
I beg to differ. I pulled up your stake in CDOL, used "Associated Organizations" to pull up the mission, and found the map in a toolbar-like space on the top.

In addition, you might want to check out directory-beta.lds.org which is the next gen directory and map combined.

Okay, thanks. I’m not good enough at separating quotes at this level, so I won’t try. :lol:

Regarding Chrome: that’s my default browser, so I think I opened the map in LDS Tools, which went to Google Maps. I’ll try it again.

I’ll also try the next gen directory.

I used the search box in the CDOL to search for the mission as an organization three different ways, and came up with no results each time. I’ll look for Associated Organizations this time.

The new member thing is no big deal. I’m pretty sure that I logged in under a different user name or e-mail address back then. I just mentioned it because it was amusing to me and to lend a little credibility to my usage experience, which I know isn’t important. :D

Thanks again.

:lol:

Well, the CDOL is a bust. I didn’t see earlier that there’s a notice to me that says that my positions don’t allow me to view the directory. I just remembered that the last time I used it was when I was either the EQ president or ward asst. clerk over finances, but that was three years ago, at least.

I tried the next gen directory, but it says it’s currently experiencing problems. Maybe it’s because I’m using my mobile right now on account o’ I’m too lazy to go downstairs to my PC at the moment! :lol:

It's working for me. That suggests your unit may have data problems. I'd use the feedback link to report it.

Okay, thanks. Knowing my unit as I do, I don’t think anyone will be jumping at the chance to look into it. I submitted an issue to my stake 11 years ago about the address of our building being entered incorrectly and therefore not showing up in Google Maps in the right place. It was never dealt with. Easier that way, I guess. :roll:

The "feedback" link doesn't go to your unit. It would go to a developer at church headquarters to figure out why it's not working. Data that causes programs to blow up is a programming problem. Incorrect data is a unit problem.

Use your web browser and sign onto churchofjesuschrist.org and go to Ward Directory and Map.

Edit: When viewing the app, rotate your phone sideways to landscape view to see the map on the right side. It is not visible in the regular, portrait, position. You will also have to zoom the map in.

A 2020 update, if you're looking for stake, mission, temple, or area boundaries, you want to visit the classic site. Since the Church migrated domains it's now https://classic.churchofjesuschrist.org/maps. Like the screenshot in the thread, you can navigate here by clicking the little grid of 9 boxes to the right of the help button, in the lower right corner of the current Church maps site. Hope you find what you're looking for! :)

The link to the classic maps tool app is correct. The method to navigate to that tool app needs clarification. The "current Church maps site" is the Meetinghouse Locator menu item link or Find a Church menu item link, depending on the menu displayed on the churchofjesuschrist.org site.

If My Account and Ward is displayed as the main menu link on churchofjesuschrist.org then the sub menu item after clicking My Account and Ward is Meetinghouse Locator under the third column titled Tools and Support. If the menu bar on churchofjesuschrist.org displays the Search icon (magnifying glass), Tools icon (grid of nine squares), and My Account icon (head bust) in the far right side then the menu item is Find a Church after clicking the Tools icon. When the tool page opens it is titled Find a Meetinghouse or Ward.

The post before yours tells you how to access the maps. The stake president would send any recommendations for changes in boundaries to the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve, so you would need to discuss any boundary concerns you may have with your stake president.
Community Administrator

Note that without membership information, it would be impossible to determine if it was "fair". While the boundaries lines are based on geography, the decisions are made based on the number of active members as well as the leadership material in each area. The idea is to insure that each unit has enough leaders and members to function. That can mean cutting up a strong area to bolster a weaker area.

Please remember this is a user-to-user discussion forum, not an official help request channel. If you were to call the temple in question, someone there might be able to direct you to the map. If this is for an official Church purpose, your stake clerk may be able to get the information.

You'll need to use either your Ward Directory and Map to see the boundary if this is your ward. If it is not your ward, then you will need to use the Meetinghouse Locator to see the boundaries.

Edit: I was asked whether the boundaries feature is available in the Meetinghouse Locator for non-leader members and nonmembers. It appears nonmembers cannot see boundaries. I am not certain if the general membership can see the boundaries, since I have more permissions as a clerk than the general membership and there is no documentation for Meetinghouse Locator that I can find.

With the no-cost magazine subscriptions being phased in by area, it's important for a member to be able to find what area his/her stake is in. I searched around for a way to find area boundaries or a statement of which area my stake is in--to no avail. Is there a way to find out which area one's stake is in?

Your leaders should know and, if they do not, your ward clerk is able to look it up quickly in CDOL, the online Church Directory of Organizations and Leaders.

Another method I suggest with no guarantee of accuracy is to look up the Wikipedia article entitled Area (LDS Church). The article lists all of the missions of the Church under their respective areas. So if you know which mission you are in, you will be able to search the page and find the Area to which that mission is assigned.

A third method, again requiring that you know the name of your mission, is to look up the Newsroom articles for the announcement of new mission presidents for the last three years. A mission president serves for three years. Your mission will be listed in one of those articles under the area to which it is assigned.

Granted, these last two methods require that you know the name of your mission. If you do not know it, ask one of the elders or sisters serving in your ward. Every stake is in a mission. Every mission is assigned to an area.

The simplest way would simply be to go to MagazineSubscriptions.ChurchofJesusChrist.org and see if you can sign up.

Currently, it appears the only North America area that can sign up is North America West. At this point there's only one phase left to go and that's on February 1, 2024.

Interesting. I had determined that I'm in the North America West Area, so (in theory) I should be able to sign up. When I went to the page to 'Subscribe', I got "Page Not Found". Being as this branch of the thread has drifted from boundaries on maps to the no-cost subscription program, I'd propose moving further magazine-related discussion here: viewtopic.php?t=37956 (Magazine subscriptions).

This is a user-to-user discussion forum, not a search engine. The earlier posts in this thread might contain answers to the questions of whether it is possible to see boundaries of your own and/or other wards, stakes, etc.
