I am creating a map for a client for a whole state. I finish putting in all the shp files, I label what client requires.

The shps I use are town/range/sections (TRS), Cities (point), lakes, rivers/streams and counties. The client wants the full state, last time, we split a different state into 3 parts to cut down on the size. This map is heavy with data and slow to generate when it is populating.

The PROBLEM IS - The labeling of the Counties ONLY display within holes in the SECTION (of the twn/range/section). Holes meaning the supplied PLSS from geocommunicator has certain parts of the state without the T/R/S. The holes cover a Twn (township) (640ac). The other county names DO NOT appear at all.

I've looked into my labeling and everything is normal, or looks normal. When I uncheck the SECTION of the t/r/s, the counties appear like they should... then when I re-check SECTION, the county names disappear except for the the few holes in the T/R/S they appear in.

down below, you will see the example and what I am talking about. I watched it generate.. during the generation, the county names were correct, then suddenly, they disappeared and some went into the all-white sections. why? how do I fix it?

What may be the cause of this and is there a solution?
