I have the following map of a state with its precincts inside of it:

enter image description here

Is there any way that I can get a list of the precincts that are on the border of the state? I have been looking through the different tools that ArcMap has but I cant find anything useful.

  1. Dissolve to get one big state polygon
  2. Use Select by Location with spatial query "Share a line segment with" to select precincts that are on the border of dissolved state polygon

You will see the selected polygons listed in the attribute table

    I think the spatial query "share a line segment with" may also work (without the switch selection). Commented Dec 13, 2018 at 19:22
