Automatically make maps from point file? [closed]

$

0

Please forgive me if this is an overly basic or broad question. I am a competent user of ArcGIS.

I have a shapefile containing thousands of points. I’d like to automatically make a map of each point, in which:

  1. The name of the finished map is the name of an attribute of the point
  2. The point is symbolized a certain way
  3. A polygon is chosen from another shapefile based upon the location of the point
  4. That polygon is symbolized a certain way
  5. Text populates a box on the map containing attributes from both the point and the polygon
  6. The polygon is labelled with an expression and in a certain format
  7. among a few other requirements.

I can batch export mxds to pdfs. I can batch rename documents. I’m familiar with data driven pages. I can make one of the maps in a few minutes, but I have hundreds to make. Help point me in the right direction – is this a job for Python, Model Builder, or something else? I’m willing to spend some time learning, but I’m not sure where to start.
