Abstract:
This data set is a vector polygon digital data structure taken from

the Census Bureau's TIGER/Line Files, 1994, for New Mexico. The

source software used was ARC/INFO 7.0.3.

Purpose: Projects utilizing geographic data of New Mexico
Supplemental_Information:
Procedures_Used:

To automate data EDAC created an AML that uses the ESRI ARC/INFO

tigerarc command sequence. Attributes of name, population, housing

units, land area, water area, latitude and longitude were obtained

from the U.S. Census Bureau, TIGER/Line Web site in March 1997.

Revisions: none

Reviews_Applied_to_Data:

Reviewed by Earth Data Analysis Center (EDAC) and the Bureau of

Business and Economic Research (BBER), March 1996.

intersections, tics, overshoots, and undershoots. Tests

were performed to detect these types of errors and necessary

corrections were made.
