Description: This polygon data represents the small-scale (500k) mapping of the United States State boundaries. This resource is a member of a series. 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. States and equivalent entities are the primary governmental divisions of the United States. In addition to the fifty states, the Census Bureau treats the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and each of the Island Areas (American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) as the statistical equivalents of states for the purpose of data presentation.
The GEOIDFQ attribute is a concatenation of the summary level code, followed by the geovariant code, followed by the geocomponent code, followed by 'US', followed by the state identifier. No spaces are allowed between the codes. The summary level code is '040'. The geovariant code is '00'. The geocomponent code is '00'. The state identifier is taken from the 'GEOID' attribute.

Description: The PLSS Township feature class represents the GIS Version of the Public Land Survey System including both rectangular and non-rectangular surveys. This data set is designed to represent the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) grid that incorporates the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83). The primary source for the data is cadastral survey records housed by the BLM supplemented with local records and geographic control coordinates from states, counties as well as other federal agencies such as the USGS and USFS. The data has been converted from source documents to digital form and transferred into a GIS format that is compliant with FGDC Cadastral Data Content Standards and Guidelines for publication. This data is optimized for data publication and sharing rather than for specific "production" or operation and maintenance.
