The County feature class is the spatial representation of the United States Counties and equivalent governmental units. The data are an extract of the Census codes and boundaries from the following Census FTP site: ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2015/. Since the Census data do not include the coastline detail, the coastal boundaries have been included through a spatial erase using the Census Hydrography data from the Census FTP site: ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2015/AREAWATER/. The County feature class is a US Forest Service Standard Reference Dataset and is the preferred spatial representation of counties. |
