[Mapserver-users] How does one create .map files?

[Eduardo Patto Kanegae]

looking at http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/contributed.html u will find some usefull tools like MapServer Workbench, MapLab, MapDesk and AveiN!

There's MapEditor at http://software-dkplan.carlbro.dk/mapEditor/

given the amount of data you will have, a good choice could develop a routine to do that automatic/semi-automatic MapFiles generation using languages such as PHP, Python, C, etc... or even inside ArcGIS(if u use it) using VBA.
