The purpose of this map is to show political (voting) townships in Illinois. Information contained in this data set is valid unless there has been re-districting since 1985. These data are appropriate for use in regional thematic analysis. The data are not appropriate as a geodetic, legal or engineering base. The data set was not and is not intended as a substitute for surveyed locations, such as can be determined by a registered Public Land Surveyor. Although useful in a GIS as a thematic, reference, or base layer for maps, the data set has no legal basis in the definition of boundaries or property lines. This is edition 20040330. The previous edition was 1.0. Recent updates: the data were converted from coverage storage model to SDE storage model. 1985 publication date Complete None planned -91.58050943 -87.38825182 42.49669441 36.9521143 none township political boundary vote district political none Illinois ISGS information must be obtained directly from the ISGS or from an authorized distributor.

Created by Tom Heavisides, DNR Office of Realty and Environmental Planning, using township maps from IDOT. 1985 Source coverage (politown) converted to double precision and reprojected to GCS_NAD83 using Workstation ArcInfo 7.2.1. The polygon features were imported into the ISGS SDE enterprise database following steps outlined in ISGS procedure GISDB_0009. Some redundant fields were removed. Metadata updated. 20040330 A user found a township in Fayette county (in the SW corner) that was missing the name. It should be Pope township and is just south of Seminary and Kaskaskia township. Made the correction using the following SQL. update IL_ADMIN_Political_Township_Py set tship_name = 'POPE' where objectid = 1299; commit; 20080602 D.
