The cartographic
boundary files are generalized, digital vector files of state- and
county-level geographic areas for which 2002 Census of Agriculture data
are reported. The cartographic boundary files can be used with
Geographic Information System (GIS) software as a base for medium to
small-scale thematic mapping.
These
boundary files are not map images. They were developed to
support USDA-NASS projects involving map production for the 2002 Agricultural Atlas of the United
States.
The cartographic boundary files on
this site are in ESRITM shapefile
format.
