Congressional Districts of the United States - 107th Congress - Direct Download
Dataset Identification:
Resource Abstract:
This map layer portrays the Congressional Districts of the United States for the 107th Congress. The map layer was created
by extracting lines from existing National Atlas layers that were coincident with Congressional District boundaries. In areas
lacking coincident geometry, lines from 1:100,000-scale Congressional District boundaries published by the U.S. Department
of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, Geography Division were generalized and integrated into the map layer. This is an update
of the July 2001 map layer.
