Identification_Information: Citation: Citation_Information: Originator: National Atlas of the United States Publication_Date: 200506 Title: 2000 County Boundaries of the United States Publication_Information: Publication_Place: Reston, VA Publisher: National Atlas of the United States Online_Linkage: Description: Abstract: This map layer portrays the 2000 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. Purpose: 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 in the use of these data.

Source_Currentness_Reference: Publication date Source_Citation_Abbreviation: ATLAS-hydro Source_Contribution: Spatial and attribute information Process_Step: Process_Description: The 2MILBD data files were originally digitized by the National Mapping Division based on the sectional maps contained in 'The National Atlas of the United States of America' published by the USGS in 1970. 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. Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: 2MILBD Process_Date: 1998 Source_Produced_Citation_Abbreviation: ATLAS-CNTY98 Process_Step: Process_Description: 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.

Dade County, Florida was changed to Miami-Dade County and the FIPS code was changed to 12086.

The State field was changed from names to two-character abbreviations, and a field for State FIPS was added. Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: ATLAS-CNTY9911 Process_Date: 2001 Source_Produced_Citation_Abbreviation: ATLAS-CNTY0102 Process_Step: Process_Description: 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.

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. The boundaries of Canovanas Municipio and Loiza Municipio were adjusted.
