Abstract: This paper deepens the connections between critically finite rational maps and finite subdivision rules. The main theorem is that if $ f$ is a critically finite rational map with no periodic critical points, then for any sufficiently large integer $ n$ the iterate $ f^{\circ n}$ is the subdivision map of a finite subdivision rule. This enables one to give essentially combinatorial models for the dynamics of such iterates.
