Mississippivector digital data
This map layer portrays the state boundaries of Mississippi. The map layer was created by extracting the State boundary polygons from the individual 1:2,000,000-scale State boundary Digital Line Graph (DLG) files produced by the U.S. Geological Survey. These files were then merged into a single coverage. This is an updated version of the June 2002 map layer; the date when each State was admitted to the United States was added.
These data are intended for geographic display and analysis at the national level, and for large regional areas. The data should be displayed and analyzed at scales appropriate for 1:2,000,000-scale data. No responsibility is assumed by the National Atlas of the United States in the use of these data.

The map layer was checked for topological consistency using the Arc/INFO
command BUILD. No other checks for logical consistency were performed on
this map layer.
This map layer includes State boundaries for Mississippi. Data completeness generally
reflects the content of the original DLG files.

Spatial and attribute information
The 2MILBD data files were originally digitized by the National Mapping
Discipline of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), based on the sectional
maps contained in 'The National Atlas of the United States of America'
published by the USGS in 1970. The sectional maps were updated during
1978-1981 and digitized in the early 1980's. The data were updated
again in the early 1990's by the USGS and published on CD-ROM in 1995 as
State DLGs. These DLG files were updated in 1997. Using Arc/INFO
software, the DLG optional format files were converted to Arc/INFO
coverages using the DLGARC command. Only State political boundaries and
attribute information were extracted for inclusion. The file was
compared to ATLAS-HY98. State boundary lines that crossed open water
were excluded for graphic purposes, and polygons that represented
islands were attributed with the appropriate State information. The
individual State coverages were then merged together using the Arc/INFO
command MAPJOIN. 'Slivers' created during the MAPJOIN process were
identified and deleted using the ELIMINATE command.

Attributes were added that provide, for each State, the month, day, and
year of admission to the United States. The order of admission was also
added. In addition, two line segments along the Texas/Mexico border
were modified to align to ATLAS-hydro.
