TIGER/Line Shapefile, 2014, Series Information File for the Area Landmark State-based
The Census Bureau includes landmarks in the MTDB for locating special features and to help enumerators during field operations. Some
of the more common landmark types include area landmarks such as airports, cemeteries, parks, schools, and churches and other religious institutions. The
Census Bureau added landmark features to MTDB on an as-needed basis and made no attempt to ensure that all instances of a particular feature were
included. The presence or absence of a landmark such as a hospital or prison does not mean that the living quarters associated with that landmark were
geocoded to that census tabulation block or excluded from the census enumeration. The Area Landmark Shapefile does not include military installations or
water bodies because they each appear in their own separate shapefiles, MIL.shp and AREAWATER.shp respectively.
