Census Bureau TIGER/Line File, Version 2000
After the data was received from the Census Bureau, Legislative GIS staff added/standardized the attribute items, and created Maptitude Caliper files that were converted to ESRI Shapefiles. More information about the PL-94-171 data can be found at US Census Bureau.
The 2000 TIGER/Line file contains town and city boundaries as of January 1, 2000. There are 11 cities that do not appear in TIGER. They are cities that historically have depended on their surrounding township for election administration and for that reason have not been separately tracked by the Census Bureau. The GIS Office has assigned each of these cities an unofficial FIPS (federal information processing standard) code and added it to Minnesota's redistricting geography, called LCC 2000. The cities are: Beardsley, Johnson, and Ortonville in Big Stone County; Calumet, Grand Rapids, La Prairie, Marble, Nashwauk, and Taconite in Itasca County; and Aurora and Kinney in St. Louis County. Some counties include unorganized territories that have served as election precincts but were not reported to the Census Bureau in time to be included in TIGER. The GIS Office has added them to the LCC 2000 file. They are: Peatland in Kittson County and America/Beltrami Island, Clear River/Oaks, and Jadis in Roseau County. Lake Superior has historically been included as an appendage to one of the towns in St. Louis, Lake, and Cook counties. The GIS Office has made it a separate unorganized territory in each of these counties. |
