TIGER/Line Shapefile, 2023, County, Dawson County, TX, Linear Hydrography

Published by U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Census Bureau, Geography Division, Geospatial Products Branch | U.S. Census Bureau, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: April 12, 2026 at 01:46 PM | Dataset Last Updated: October 01, 2023 at 12:00 AM
The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national filewith no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independentdata set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. Linear Water Features includes single-line drainage water features and artificial path features that run through double-line drainage features such as rivers and streams, and serve as a linear representation of these features. The artificial path features may correspond to those in the USGS National Hydrographic Dataset (NHD). However, in many cases the features do not match NHD equivalent feature and will not carry the NHD metadata codes. These features have a MAF/TIGER Feature Classification Code (MTFCC) beginning with an "H" to indicate the super class of Hydrographic Features.
