The title-32 districts are listed above. Each district is required to notify us of any boundary changes. Boundary maps used for GIS input vary in scale, the minimum being 1:50,000. The Boundary input method usually involves digitizing from paper maps, with the occaisional use of Coordinate Geometry (COGO) or digital conversion from DXF files. The boundaries in this data set are current through Dec 31, 1996*.

There is also the possibility that we did not receive record of a boundary change, which would therefore not be reflected in the dataset. |
