I am not sure how useful this information would be to the general public, but if you are interested in mapping variables to geographical borders of the United States Military Entrance Processing Command (MEPS), there seems to be no ready-made cartographic boundary files available to researchers.
First, you will need to download cartographic boundary shapefiles from the U.S. Census website. For my purpose, I used the 2010 Census county boundary file (gz_2010_us_050_00_20m.zip) and referred to the 2010 FIPS codes for matching counties and county equivalent entities to the 65 MEPS in the U.S and Puerto Rico. Our data contained 7 missing MEPS, so I coded corresponding MEPS values as missings. Please update those MEPS values to whatever values you would need for your purpose. And one last thing; please be sure to specify your file locations using the macro – graph.
Here is the Stata code to convert Census FIPS county codes to 65 MEPS:
