      <abstract>This data is a copy of the "Montana TIGER/Line Census Files, 1990,  Montana" CD, issued by the U.S. Census Bureau in August, 1991.  The data are in TIGER format and must be converted by 3rd-party software for use with geographic information systems.

The TIGER/Line files contain data describing three major types of features/entities;
Line Features -
1) Roads
2) Railroads
3) Hydrography
4) Miscellaneous transportation features and selected power lines and pipe lines
5) Political and statistical boundaries

Landmark Features -
1) Point landmarks, e.g., schools and churches.
2) Area landmarks, e.g., Parks and cemeteries.
3) Key geographic locations (KGLs), e.g., shopping centers and factories.

Polygon features -
1) Geographic entity codes for areas used to tabulate the Census 1990 census statistical data
2) Locations of area landmarks
3) Locations of KGLs

1990 TIGER files contain latitude/longitude geographic coordinates, in the North American Datum of 1927, of roads, streams, boundary lines derived from 1:100,000 scale maps.</abstract>
      <purpose>These TIGER/Line files were developed by the Census Bureau and the Geological Survey to allow the Census Bureau to create maps for the collection of the 1990 Census.</purpose>
      <supplinf>This data does not appear to be available for order on-line from the Census Bureau any more.  The data may be converted to Arc/Info coverage format using the "1995" option of the Tiger Conversion tools in the "Coverage Tools...Conversion...To Coverage" toolset in the Arc/Info version of ESRI's ArcToolbox application.</supplinf>
