2012 Cartographic Boundary File, 2010 Census Urban Area for United States, 1:500,000
The 2012 cartographic boundary shapefiles are simplified representations of selected geographic areas from
the Census Bureau's MAF/TIGER geographic database. These boundary files are specifically designed for small-scale thematic mapping. When possible
generalization is performed with the intent to maintain the hierarchical relationships among geographies and to maintain the alignment of geographies
within a file set for a given year. Geographic areas may not align with the same areas from another year. Some geographies are available as nation-based
shapefiles while others are available only as state-based files.
