Generating the Streets Index Graphic element
The Streets Index Graphic is a required element for Image City Map (ICM) map sheets that are distributed as hard copies. It contains a list of all the features in the Road_L feature class and the Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) value that corresponds with the cell that contains the annotation. Each street on the map only appears once, because the MGRS value is derived from the location of the street's annotation.
