USER NOTES:
In order to maintain a current geographic data base from which to extract the TIGER/Line® files, the U.S. Census Bureau uses various internal and external procedures to update the Census TIGER® data base. While it has made a reasonable and systematic attempt to gather the most recent information available about the features this file portrays, the U.S. Census Bureau cautions users that the files are no more complete than the source documents used in their compilation, the vintage of those source documents, and the translation of the information on those source documents. American Indian reservations—Federal (federal AIRs) are areas that have been set aside by the United States for the use of the tribe, the exterior boundaries of which are more particularly defined in the final tribal treaty, agreement, Executive Order, federal statute, Secretarial Order, and/or judicial determination. The U.S. Census Bureau recognizes federal AIRs as territory over which American Indians have primary governmental authority. These entities are known as colonies, communities, pueblos, rancherias, ranches, reservations, reserves, tribal towns, and tribal villages. A tribal government appointed liaison provides the name and boundaries of their federal reservations to the U.S. Census Bureau whenever possible. The U.S. Census Bureau contacts the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) or other federal agencies if a tribal government cannot supply the boundaries and/or supporting legal documentation for a boundary change. Federal reservations may cross state, county, county subdivision, and place boundaries. The BIA supplied the U.S. Census Bureau with the names and exterior boundaries of the federal AIRs used for the 1990 census. The U.S. Census Bureau first reported data for American Indian reservations in the 1970 census. American Indian trust lands are areas for which the United States holds fee title in trust for the benefit of a tribe (tribal trust land) or for an individual Indian (individual trust land). Trust lands can be alienated or encumbered only by the owner with the approval of the Secretary of the Interior or his/her authorized representative. Trust lands may be located on or off a reservation. The U.S. Census Bureau recognizes and tabulates data for reservations and off-reservation trust lands because the tribe has primary governmental authority over these lands. Primary tribal governmental authority generally is not attached to tribal lands located off the reservation until the lands are placed in trust. In U.S. Census Bureau data tabulations, off-reservation trust lands always are associated with a specific federally recognized reservation and/or tribal government. A tribal government appointed liaison provides the name and boundaries of their trust lands. The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), an agency in the U.S. Department of the Interior, identified and provided maps of these areas for use by the U.S. Census Bureau for the 1990 census. The U.S. Census Bureau first reported data for off-reservation tribal trust lands in the 1980 census; in 1990, the trust land data included both tribal and individual trust lands. The U.S. Census Bureau does not identify fee land (or land in fee simple status) or restricted fee lands as specific geographic categories and they are not identified in the TIGER/Line® files. Trust lands are assigned the same code as the reservation with which they are associated. Trust lands associated with tribes that do not have a reservation are assigned codes based on tribal name. In the TIGER/Line® files, a letter code—"T" for tribal and "I" for individual—appears in a separate field and identifies off-reservation trust lands.

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
ETDM DATA PROCESSING PROCEDURES: -Downloaded Census Block Boundaries from www.geographynetwork.com/data/tiger2000 -Merged counties -Projected to Albers HPGN SOURCE DATA PROCESSING PROCEDURES: The TIGER/Line® files are extracts, from the Census TIGER® (Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing) data base, of selected geographic and cartographic information. The U.S. Census Bureau’s Census TIGER® System automates the mapping and related geographic activities required to support the decennial census and sample survey programs of the U.S. Census Bureau starting with the 1990 decennial census.They include files for all counties and statistically equivalent entities in the United States and Puerto Rico. The initial sources used to create the Census TIGER ® data base were the USGS 1:100,000-scale Digital Line Graph (DLG), USGS 1:24,000-scale quadrangles, the U.S. Census Bureau’s 1980 geographic base files (GBF/ DIME-Files), and a variety of miscellaneous maps for selected areas outside the contiguous 48 states. The DLG coverage is extensive, albeit of variable currency, and comprises most of the rural, small city, and suburban area of the TIGER/Line® files. GBF/DIME-File coverage areas were updated through 1987 with the manual translation of features from the most recent aerial photography available to the U.S. Census Bureau. The U.S. Census Bureau has added to the Census TIGER ® data base the enumerator updates compiled during the Census 2000 census operations. The updates came from map annotations made by enumerators as they attempted to locate living quarters by traversing every street feature in their assignment area. The U.S. Census Bureau digitized the enumerator updates directly into the Census TIGER® data base without geodetic controls or the use of aerial photography to confirm the features’ locational accuracy. The U.S. Census Bureau also made other corrections and updates to the Census TIGER® data base supplied by local participants in various U.S. Census Bureau programs. Local updates originated from map reviews by local government officials or their liaisons and local participants in U.S. Census Bureau programs. Maps were sent participants for use in various census programs, and some maps were returned with update annotations and corrections. The U.S. Census Bureau generally added the updates to the Census TIGER® data base without extensive checks. Changes made by local officials do not have geodetic control or coordinate system.
