Data Identification
- Abstract: The 2012 cartographic boundary shapefiles are simplified representations of selected geographic areas from
the Census Bureau's MAF/TIGER geographic database. These boundary files are specifically designed for small-scale thematic mapping. When possible
generalization is performed with the intent to maintain the hierarchical relationships among geographies and to maintain the alignment of geographies
within a file set for a given year. Geographic areas may not align with the same areas from another year. Some geographies are available as nation-based
shapefiles while others are available only as state-based files.
- Purpose: To improve the
appearance of shapes at small scales, areas are represented with fewer vertices than detailed TIGER/Line equivalents. These boundary files take up less
disk space than their ungeneralized counterparts. Cartographic boundary files take less time to render on screen. These files were specifically created
to support small-scale thematic mapping.
