Function for cleaning up CMAP geography names #21

Open sean-connelly-cmap opened 2 months ago

sean-connelly-cmap commented 2 months ago

A custom function that cleans up a list of Geography names (muni, CCA, townships, counties, etc) to match a specific CMAP standard. It cleans up the capitalization, catches common misspellings, etc etc. CDS would be an immediate user for something like this, but I think it would be useful to anyone working with table data for the region.

Maybe modeled after the function in this example, plus these instructions for creating a custom dictionary

"make_cmap_names()"?
