Purpose: U.S. National Atlas Cities provides information about the locations, names, and populations of cities and towns for conducting geographic analysis on national and large regional scales. Supplemental_Information: Largest scale when displaying the data: 1:2,000,000. This is a subset of the original dataset. It has been clipped to the extent of the Gulf of Maine surficial sediment GIS project extent.

Where there were discrepancies, names from the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) were used. A small number of places could not be assigned FIPS-55-DC3 codes and were removed from the data set. Minor positional corrections were also made.

Removed unneeded attributes. Reduced the width of attributes. Created ArcGIS - layer file (.lyr). Created ArcView legend file (.avl). Created projection file (.prj). Ran ArcView Avenue request ExportClean, and created spatial indices.
