Resource Abstract:
- description: The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic
information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing
(MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however,
each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire
nation. The Coastline Shapefile includes all features within the MTDB Class "Coastline" distinguished where the
MAF/TIGER Feature Classification Code (MTFCC) for the feature in MTDB is L4150. The coastline included in this shapefile was
delineated by the Census Bureau in the MAF/TIGER database based on water measurement class for display of statistical information
only; its depiction and designation for statistical purposes does not constitute a determination of jurisdictional authority
or rights of ownership or entitlement and it is not a legal land description. This shapefile should be used for data presentation
purposes only. It is not the official source for the coastline feature. The name assigned to each Coastline feature is a short
form of the name of the large body of water bordered by this Coastline feature.; abstract: The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related
