         24 . The system of  claim 23 , wherein the control circuit is further configured to:
 receive, from the user, second user input, wherein the second user input deselects one or more of the indications of locations associated with the one or more location identifiers; and   update, based on the second user input, the interactive map to remove the one or more locations associated with the one or more location identifiers based on the deselection of the one or more of the indication of the locations associated with the one or more location identifiers.   
     
     
         25 . The system of  claim 21 , further comprising:
 a user device, the user device comprising:
 a user input device, wherein the user input device is configured to receive the first user input; 
 a communications radio, wherein the communications radio is configured to transmit and indication of the first user input to the control circuit and receive instructions for presenting the user interface from the control circuit; and 
 the display device, wherein the display device is configured to present the user interface; and 
   a communications network, wherein the communications network is communicatively coupled to the user device and the control circuit.   
     
     
         26 . The system of  claim 21 , wherein the control circuit is further configured to:
 receive, from the user, second user input representing unstructured geospatial information, wherein the second user input indicates boundaries drawn within the interactive map;   update, based on the second user input, the boundary shape to include the boundaries drawn within the interactive map;   convert, based on accessing the database, the unstructured geospatial information to structured geospatial information to determine one or more location identifiers associated with the second user input;   update, based on the one or more location identifiers associated with the second user input, the location identifiers presentation, wherein the location identifiers presentation additionally includes geographic regions associated with the one or more location identifiers associated with the second user input; and   cause presentation, via the display device, of the location identifiers presentation as updated.   
     
     
         27 . The system of  claim 21 , wherein the first user input further includes a radius, and wherein the boundary shape is generated based on the structured geospatial information and the radius. 
     
     
         28 . The system of  claim 21 , wherein the control circuit determines the one or more location identifiers associated with the boundary shape based on a threshold. 
     
     
         29 . The system of  claim 28 , wherein the threshold is one or more user-adjustable and automatically adjustable. 
     
     
         30 . The system of  claim 21 , wherein the boundary shape includes two or more discrete boundary shapes. 
     
     
         31 . A method for generating service areas, the method comprising:
 storing, in a database, location identifiers, wherein the location identifiers are associated with geographic regions;   generating, by a control circuit, a user interface, wherein the user interface includes an interactive map;   receiving, from a user, first user input representing structured geospatial information;   generating, by the control circuit based on the first user input, a boundary shape;   augmenting, by the control circuit, the interactive map to include the boundary shape;   determining, by the control circuit based on the boundary shape, one or more location identifiers associated with the boundary shape;   generating, by the control circuit based on the one or more location identifiers associated with the boundary shape, a location identifiers presentation, wherein the location identifiers presentation includes geographic regions associated with the one or more location identifiers;   augmenting, by the control circuit, the interactive map to include the location identifiers presentation; and   causing presentation, by the control circuit via a display device, of the interactive geographic map including the location identifiers presentation.
