TIGER/Line Shapefile, 2024, County, Suffolk County, NY, Topological Faces-Area Hydrography Relationship File
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) System (MTS). The MTS represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation.
The Topological Faces/Area Hydrography Relationship File contains a record for each face/area hydrography feature relationship. Face refers to the areal (polygon) topological primitives that make up the MTS. A face is bounded by one or more edges; its boundary includes only the edges that separate it from other faces, not any interior edges contained within the area of the face. The face to which a record in the Topological Faces/Area Hydrography Relationship File (facesah.dbf) applies can be determined by linking to the Topological Faces shapefile (faces.shp) using the permanent topological face identifier (TFID) attribute. The area hydrography feature to which a record in the Topological Faces/Area Hydrography Relationship File applies can be determined by linking to the Area Hydrography shapefile (areawater.shp) using the area hydrography identifier (HYDROID) attribute. A face may be part of multiple area water features. An area water feature may consist of multiple faces.
