Ah, I missed that add_edge_list() returns a property map in that case. So the property map should have my application's vertex IDs in it as long as I use hashed=True. I'll give that a try. Thanks.

I assume you mean using the Graph.add_edge_list() function. In which case,
take a look at the behavior of the 'hashed' parameter. From the documentation:

    Optionally, if ``hashed == True``, the vertex values in the edge list
    are not assumed to correspond to vertex indices directly. In this case
    they will be mapped to vertex indices according to the order in which
    they are encountered, and a vertex property map with the vertex values
    is returned. If ``string_vals == True``, the algorithm assumes that the
    vertex values are strings. Otherwise, they will be assumed to be numeric
    if ``edge_list`` is a :class:`~numpy.ndarray`, or arbitrary python
    objects if it is not.
