<abstract>This WEB page contains the U.S. Census Bureau&apos;s Cartographic Boundary Files.  The boundary files available here are selected generalized extracts from the Census Bureau&apos;s TIGER geographic database and are designed for use in a Geographic Information System (GIS) or similar mapping system.  These boundary files are not map images.</abstract>
<purpose>These boundary files were developed to support a variety of internal Census Bureau projects.  They have been made available here to the general public on an &quot;as is&quot; basis.</purpose>
<supplinf>The boundaries in these files are for statistical data collection and tabulation purposes only.  They do not represent legal boundaries.  Their depiction and designation for statistical purposes does not constitute a determination of jurisdictional authority or rights of ownership or entitlement and they are not legal land descriptions.</supplinf>
