Process_Description:
The following steps were performed by ESRI: Extracted 1990 Census tract geography from GDT Dynamap/2000 v9.0, then aggregated it into counties (the boundaries, therefore, are consistent with the boundaries of the Census tracts and have all of the detailed vertices necessary to maintain consistency with the tract level of detail). Added demographic attributes from Summary Tape File-1A (STF-1A) data published by the U.S. Bureau of the Census based on the 1990 Census of Population. Added farm attributes from data published by the U.S. Bureau of the Census based on the 1987 Census of Agriculture. Added Pop2000 attribute from CACI International, Inc. Converted to North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83) by splitting the United States into?if present: Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands and the 48 contiguous states (including District of Columbia); converting each to NAD83; then merging them together. Recalculated any attributes based on area. Created ArcGIS? layer file (.lyr). Created ArcView legend file (.avl). Created projection file (.prj). Ran ArcView Avenue request ExportClean, and created spatial indices.
