The map was compiled by the Colorado Department of Transportation from maps of varying scales provided by the counties. This digital map is not to be considered as a legal representation of these counties. Purpose: To illustrate approximate county boundaries for Colorado. Supplemental_Information: This dataset was extracted and reprojected from data released by the Colorado Department of Transportation.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) makes no warranties related to the accuracy of the data and users are required to determine suitability of use for any particular purpose. This digital map is not to be construed as a legal representation of the county boundaries. Detailed metadata indicating scale were not available for the source map. It is assumed that the data should not be used at scales larger than 1:100,000, although it is possible that the map may be accurate at much larger scales. Any hardcopies utilizing this data set shall clearly indicate this source. If the user has modified the data in any way, (s)he is obligated to describe the types of modifications performed on the hardcopy map. User specifically agrees not to misrepresent this data set, nor imply that changes were approved by the USGS.

It is not known what scale or format any county data originated as that information is not included in the original CDOT metadata. Therefore, it is assumed that the map may not be accurate at scales larger than 1:100,000, although it is possible that it may be accurate at larger scales. Completeness_Report: The data are considered complete for the purpose of displaying counties in Colorado. Logical_Consistency_Report: The original data were provided by the Colorado Department of Transportation as zipped ArcView shape files on their website: http://www.dot.state.co.us/. The files were unzipped and the shape file imported into MapInfo Pro 6.5 using the Arc/Info export (.e00) format. This file was imported into MapInfo Professional v. 6.5 and unprojected from Universal Transverse Mercator, NAD 83, to latitude/longitude decimal degree coordinates.
