arcgis 10.1 - Creating and populating inset maps for densely-labelled areas using ArcPy?


I would like to know if it is possible to automate the example in the picture below, unlike the picture below i'm using vector data.


I would like for a fixed scale generate map, but when labels are too dense, we could have some little maps (inset maps) on the side of the Main map.



i have found some tips using arcpy.


but the problem is how to detect densely labelled areas

A good way to automate would be Data Driven Pages or to use ArcPy mapping module:
