These maps are examples of what will accompany the 1993 Commodity Flow Survey publication to help data users locate and identify the National Transportation Analysis Regions (NTAR).

Notes on the Maps and the Scanned Images

All the maps displayed here were provided by staff of the Census Bureau's Geography Division. The NTAR and the Agricultural Atlas maps presented here in Adobe PDF were translated from the Post Script format into PDF using the Adobe Distiller software by the Census Bureau's Geography Division.

The maps based on the 1990 Census of Population (the GIF images) were scanned from the original published maps by Don Badrak of the Computer Support Branch (GEO-CSB) on a Macintosh IIfx with a Microtek IIHR scanner using Adobe PhotoShop 2.5. The images were saved at 300dpi and transferred to an SGI Indigo R4000, where he saved them as 300dpi JPEGs. The mini map images (file-mini.gif) GIF files were saved at a size of 250x196. The thumbnail GIFs (file-thumb.gif) are 100x78.
