The Area Hydrography Shapefile contains the geometry and attributes of both perennial and intermittent
area hydrography features, including ponds, lakes, oceans, swamps (up to the U.S. nautical three-mile limit), glaciers, and the area covered by large
rivers, streams, and/or canals that are represented as double-line drainage. Single-line drainage water features can be found in the Linear Hydrography
Shapefile (LINEARWATER.shp). Linear water features includes single-line drainage water features and artificial path features, where they exist, that run
through double-line drainage features such as rivers, streams, and/or canals, and serve as a linear representation of these features.
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 File is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or
they can be combined to cover the entire nation.
In order for others to use the information in the Census MAF/TIGER database in a geographic information system (GIS) or for other
geographic applications, the Census Bureau releases to the public extracts of the database in the form of TIGER/Line Shapefiles.

coordinates is not as great as the six decimal places suggest.
