Nationally, a proliferation of clandestine methamphetamine laboratories (meth labs) has resulted from the growing popularity of the drug. The nature of this illicit process poses inherent dangers for the "Cook", the first responders, bystanders including children, and the environment. By combining data from two sources, the National Clandestine Laboratory Database and the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) website, a visual inventory representing both frequency and location of illicit lab activity across the United States was developed. Within PROC GMAP, statement options of rotation, light source coordinates, plane assignments (x, y, and z), midpoint, and angle of tilt were written to produce effective visual displays of the United States with both surface map and prism map presentations.
