TIGER/Line Shapefile, 2016, nation, U.S., Military Installation National Shapefile
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 shapefile is designed to
stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation.
The Census Bureau includes landmarks such as military installations in the MTDB for locating special features and to help enumerators
during field operations. In 2012, the Census Bureau obtained the inventory and boundaries of most military installations from the U.S.
Department of Defense (DOD) for Air Force, Army, Marine, and Navy installations and from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
for Coast Guard installations.
The military installation boundaries in this release represent the updates the Census Bureau made in 2012 in collaboration with DoD.
