COUNTIES

Data format: Personal GeoDatabase Feature Class

File or table name: COUNTIES

Coordinate system: Universal Transverse Mercator

Theme keywords: boundaries, location, society
Abstract: Features in this dataset represent the boundaries of each county in the State of Colorado. Features are represented by polygon geographic shapes. As of October, 2009 this dataset carries demographics data.

FGDC and ESRI Metadata:
Metadata elements shown with blue text are defined in the Federal Geographic Data Committee's (FGDC) Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Elements shown with green text are defined in the ESRI Profile of the CSDGM. Elements shown with a green asterisk (*) will be automatically updated by ArcCatalog. ArcCatalog adds hints indicating which FGDC elements are mandatory; these are shown with gray text.
