National Atlas of the United States 200506 vector digital data Reston, VA National Atlas of the United States withheld NA_uscty This map layer portrays the State and county boundaries of the United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The map layer was created by extracting county polygon features from the individual 1:2,000,000-scale State boundary Digital Line Graph (DLG) files produced by the U.S. Geological Survey. These files were then merged into a single file. This is a revised version of the November 2004 map layer. It was revised again October 2008 by Dean Oman from the National Atlas countyp020m layer to include the U.S. territories of Guam, Northern Marianas and American Samoa. These data are intended for geographic display and analysis at the national level, and for large regional areas. The data should be displayed and analyzed at scales appropriate for 1:2,000,000-scale data. No responsibility is assumed by the National Atlas of the United States or the Natural Resources Conservation Service in the use of these data. en 1972 2001 ground condition Complete Irregular -180.000000 180.000000 90.000000 -25.575741 -10429172.923900 3407723.414800 -78261.759700 6542182.480200 ISO 19115 Topic Category Boundaries None Boundaries States State boundaries Counties County boundaries U.S. Department of Commerce, 1995, Countries, Dependencies, Areas of Special Sovereignty, and Their Principal Administrative Divisions (Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 10-4): Washington, DC, National Institute of Standards and Technology.

The sectional maps were updated during 1978-1981 and digitized in the early 1980's. The data were updated again in the early 1990's by the USGS and published on CD-ROM in 1995 as State DLGs. Using Arc/INFO software, the updated DLG optional-format files were converted to Arc/INFO coverages using the DLGARC command. Only county boundaries and attribute information were extracted from the boundaries DLG layer for inclusion in this national coverage. The county boundary lines that crossed open water were excluded for graphic purposes and polygons that represented islands were attributed with the appropriate county information. The individual State coverages were then merged together using the Arc/INFO command MAPJOIN. "Slivers" created during the MAPJOIN process were identified and deleted using the ELIMINATE command. In 1998, the delineation of the boundary of Mojave County, AZ was corrected. Minor modifications were also made to boundaries in Alaska. withheld 1998 withheld The spatial features were compared against the National Atlas hydrography layer (ATLAS-HY9903) and modified where necessary. Incorrect attributes were corrected. Yellowstone County was deleted and the boundaries for Gallatin and Park Counties were adjusted to absorb the area of Yellowstone National Park. Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands were added. withheld withheld withheld 199903 withheld Several boundary adjustments were made to counties in Alaska, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, and Virginia. Dade County, Florida was changed to Miami-Dade County and the FIPS code was changed to 12086. withheld withheld withheld 199911 withheld The county name was corrected for the Grass Cay and Mingo Cay polygons in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The State field was changed from names to two-character abbreviations, and a field for State FIPS was added. withheld 200102 withheld The newly formed City and County of Broomfield, Colorado was added to the map layer. withheld withheld 200112 The boundary of Juneau Borough, Alaska was modified to include approximately 61,000 acres of northern Admiralty Island. Data from the Census Bureau's county boundary file of Alaska was extracted and generalized to a scale of 1:2,000,000. The boundary of Denver County, Colorado was modified to include the area occupied by Denver International Airport. Additional minor corrections were made to Denver County and Adams County. All corrections were made using data from the Census Bureau's county boundary file of Colorado. Finally, county attribution was removed from the Niagara River between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie. withheld withheld 200201 withheld Boundary adjustments were made between the following counties or county equivalents: >1) Navajo and Coconino in Arizona >2) Tuolumne and Mono in California >3) Lake and Chaffee in Colorado >4) Gulf and Franklin in Florida >5) Plaquemines Parish and Jefferson Parish in Louisiana >6) Mora and Taos in New Mexico >7) Otero and Chaves in New Mexico >8) Canovanas Municipio and Loiza Municipio in Puerto Rico >9) Tipton and Shelby in Tennesee >10) Loving and Winkler in Texas >11) Pecos and Terrell in Texas >12) Kerr and Bandera in Texas >13) Real and Bandera in Texas >14) San Patricio and Nueces in Texas >15) Sanpete and Jab in Utah >16) Harrisonburg City and Rockingham County in Virginia >17) Staunton City and Augusta County in Virginia >18) Lynchburg City and Campbell County in Virginia >19) Danville City and Pittsylvania County in Virginia > Numerous additional minor boundary adjustments were made throughout the country. In Puerto Rico, Florida Municipio was added and an offshore island was added to Ponce Municipio. A extra polygon within Vega Baja Municipio was merged with the rest of the municipio. An attribute containing the area in square miles for the county was added. It was calculated by summing values in the area field for each county, which is in square meters, and multiplying the results by 0.0000003681. withheld withheld withheld 200207 withheld According to the change notice in FIPS_DOC, the independent city (county-equivalent) of Clifton Forge, Virginia, was reverted to town status and is an incorporated place within Alleghany County.
