Speed up the loading time of the Admin map visualization to make it interactive

[m-furman]

Currently, the JSON data is reloaded every time that the user selects/deselects a checkbox on the map. Storing the data locally rather than constantly re-requesting it would help speed up the visualization and make it more interactive (and usable!).

This is related to #380 and #395 .

Thanks @m-furman!

I've been experimenting with this a bit today, and (from the rather minimal testing I've done so far) it looks like storing the data locally speeds up the visualization quite a bit... though I don't have any specific numbers yet so I'm not sure by how much. I want to take a more in depth look at the load times later, but the map no longer goes completely blank when a label is selected/deselected (rather, the selected/deselected labels just seem to appear/disappear).

Can you also look at memory usage when you're benchmarking this stuff? Thanks Maria. Sounds like good progress. Can't wait to use it.
