Resource Abstract:
- description: The 2014 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. Regions are four groupings of States
(Northeast, South, Midwest, and West) established by the Census Bureau in 1942 for the presentation of census data.; abstract:
