This is a Vector data set. It contains the following vector data types (SDTS terminology):
The map projection used is Lambert Conformal Conic.
Planar coordinates are encoded using coordinate pair
Abscissae (x-coordinates) are specified to the nearest unknown
Ordinates (y-coordinates) are specified to the nearest unknown
Planar coordinates are specified in feet
The horizontal datum used is NAD27.
The ellipsoid used is CLARKE1866.
The semi-major axis of the ellipsoid used is 6378206.4 meters.
The flattening of the ellipsoid used is 1/294.98.
Attribute items are in typical ARC/INFO feature class format.

Data are an accurate reflection of the Bureau of the Census TIGER/Line files. Attribute data are believed to be tied to the proper area with 100 percent accuracy relative to the Tiger/LINE data.
Data are derived from Tiger/LINE files and are believed to have reasonable positional accuracy to around 167 feet. This estimate is derived form USGS National Map Accuracy standards for map scale of 1:100,000.
All incorporateed places identified in the TIGER/Line files, 1991, are included.
Data set is topologically structured polygon data.
