TIGER/Line Shapefile, Current, County, Cedar County, IA, Linear Hydrography

Published by U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Census Bureau, Geography Division | U.S. Census Bureau, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 02, 2026 at 02:59 AM | Dataset Last Updated: October 01, 2025 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) 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. Linear water features include 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 U.S. Geological Survey National Hydrographic Dataset (NHD). However, in many cases the features do not match NHD equivalent features 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.
