This coverage was identified on the USGS Water Resources NSDI Node site at https://www.usgs.gov/ngpo/. The coverage contains the county boundaries of the southern region of the continental United States. These boundaries were derived from the Digital Line Graph (DLG) files representing the 1:2,000,000 scale map in the National Atlas of the United States (please see USGS_Procedures_Used in Process Steps below).The data was then modified by USDA Forest Service Personnel for use in the Southern Forest Resource Assessment and exported to a shapefile (please see USDA Forest Service Modifications in Process Steps below). This shapefile is used as a base map for a variety of applications. Metadata was updated on 6/08/2011 when data became available through this archive. Minor metadata updates made on 04/18/2013. Minor metadata updates on 12/06/2016.
