About this data
Can a cartographic county boundary settle a property-line question?+
No. These are simplified regional boundaries intended for mapping and analysis at their published scale. Property boundaries and legal jurisdiction questions require appropriate authoritative records.
Are the visible map divisions the regional inventory polygons?+
The basemap and regional analysis use separate boundary inventories. Their geometries are not assumed to be identical.
