Abstract:
These data are from the Montana County Boundary geodatabase that was available on the Montana State Library web site at the end of 2012. The data are archived in Esri file geodatabase format and in Esri shapefile format.

These data represent Montana's School District boundaries. There are separate data sets for Elementary, Secondary, and Unified (K-12) school districts.

All Montana County School District Superintendents were contacted for legal descriptions/source documents. Montana law requires all County School District Superintendent to have these documents available for the public. The boundary files were created based on the best available source data received from the counties: Legal Descriptions, County GIS Files, County Source Maps, or where data sources were not available the Montana Cadastral GIS Data was used. Digital data used as a base layer to create these boundary files were the best available source at the time: Cadastral (parcel lines), Geographic Coordination Data Base (GCDB), National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) Imagery, and 1:24,000 USGS Topographic Maps.
