Resource Abstract:
- description: The 2015 cartographic boundary KMLs are simplified representations of selected geographic areas from the U.S.
Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database
(MTDB). 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 files while others are available only as state-based files. Divisions are groupings of states
within a census geographic region, established by the Census Bureau for the presentation of census data. The current nine
divisions (East North Central, East South Central, Middle Atlantic, Mountain, New England, Pacific, South Atlantic, West North
Central, and West South Central) are intended to represent relatively homogeneous areas that are subdivisions of the four
census geographic regions.; abstract: The 2015 cartographic boundary KMLs are simplified representations of selected geographic
