The website and reports document mapping initiative activities during its first year. Case studies and maps show various aspects of the opioid crisis, for example:
- Where to access naloxone- pharmacies and clinics providing naloxone to the public.
- Prescription Drop Box locations where unused medications can be turned in.
The website also includes news and articles about local governments mapping the epidemic, examples of applications the government has provided the public, and open data sets which those applications use. It also recommends apps for use to access these data.

More information can be found in this presentation on ODMAP.
NORC at the University of Chicago has created this tool to allow users to map overdose hotspots and overlay them with data that provide additional context to opioid use disorder and death - including the strength and diversity of local economies, ethnicity, educational attainment, and disability status of residents. Maps are specific to the United States and to the Appalachian region.
This website has an interactive map that looks at deaths from alcohol, suicides, and drugs for each state. A downloadable report offers an extensive national resilience strategy.

This is an interactive mapping database from the Agency for Healthcare Quality and Research that corresponds to five key social determinants of health domains: social context (e.g., age, race/ethnicity, veteran status), economic context (e.g., income, unemployment rate), education, physical infrastructure (e.g, housing, crime, transportation), and healthcare context (e.g., health insurance). These data can be linked to other data by geography (county and zip code).
This mapping tool provides a geographic view of opioid prescriptions and other indicators in the United States. This allows for a better comparison to be made between different states and counties and their respective rates of opioid prescriptions and opioid overdoses.
The Opioid Misuse Resource Map provides a list of interventions at the community level to address the opioid crisis by each state. The list shows a number of opioid-related projects that have been compiled from USDA partners and agencies throughout the US.
