TIGER/Line Shapefile, 2014, Series Information File for the Area Landmark State-based

Published by U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Census Bureau, Geography Division, Spatial Data Collection and Products Branch | U.S. Census Bureau, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 28, 2026 | Last Modified: 2014-01-01T00:00:00.000+00:00
The Census Bureau includes landmarks in the MTDB for locating special features and to help enumerators during field operations. Some of the more common landmark types include area landmarks such as airports, cemeteries, parks, schools, and churches and other religious institutions. The Census Bureau added landmark features to MTDB on an as-needed basis and made no attempt to ensure that all instances of a particular feature were included. The presence or absence of a landmark such as a hospital or prison does not mean that the living quarters associated with that landmark were geocoded to that census tabulation block or excluded from the census enumeration. The Area Landmark Shapefile does not include military installations or water bodies because they each appear in their own separate shapefiles, MIL.shp and AREAWATER.shp respectively.
