The County_Ref feature class is the spatial representation of the United States Counties and equivalent governmental units. The data are an extract of the Census codes and boundaries from the following Census FTP site: ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger. The County feature class is a US Forest Service Standard Reference Dataset and is the preferred spatial representation of counties. Because the coastlines have not been clipped to show a cartographic representation of the coast, this feature class is used to determine in which county another feature occurs rather than for cartographic purposes. |
