Source scale denominator: 100000
Source contribution:: The Urbanized Area/Urban Cluster boundaries and their identifying numbers were selected and copied from the TIGER files.
Calendar date: 04/01/2000

Process step:

The TIGER/Line files were imported into a series of Arc/Info coverages with the Arc/Info TIGERTOOL command. The Urbanized Areas/Urban Clusters were selected from the coverages and combined into a single data set for the entire state, and converted to State Plane Coordinates.
