The statistical census data are summarized at the county, state, and U.S. levels and are available in a digital format. The Research and Development Division of NASS modified generalized county boundaries to show geographic areas for which the 2017 Agricultural Census statistics are reported at the county level. These county-level boundary files were used in the production of the 2017 United States Census of Agriculture, Agricultural Census Web Maps. The boundary files can be employed in a desktop or online Geographic Information System (GIS) with the 2017 Agricultural Census statistical data by using the Agricultural Census county codes to associate the county-level spatial entities with the county-level statistical data. Purpose: The boundaries are intended for geographic display and analysis at the county- level. The boundary data are designed for small scale thematic mapping applications at a scale of 1:20,000,000 or smaller (e.g., 1:50,000,000, etc.). The county-level boundaries are provided "as is". The USDA/NASS does not warrant the results you may obtain using the Agricultural Census county-level boundary data. Supplemental_Information: These Agricultural Census county-level boundary files may be used with statistical data in the 2017 Census of Agriculture, Volume 1, Geographic Area Series, Parts 1 - 50, and 2018 Census of Agriculture, Volume 1, Geographic Area Series, Part 52.

Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Unmodified entities have entity codes and names which conform to the American National Standards Institute's INCITS 31–2009[R2014], formerly Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 6-4, and INCITS 38–2009[R2014], formerly Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 5-2. Area values in square miles are derived from land polygon area values from the U.S. Census Bureau's TIGER database. Logical_Consistency_Report: No topological checks were performed on the data. Completeness_Report: The generalized data do NOT include 1) boundaries for the Aleutian Islands in the Eastern Hemisphere, 2) boundaries for Hawaiian Islands west of -19942590.665742 m longitude (-160.555771 degrees), 3) very small polygons because of coordinate thinning, and 4) water polygons. This data set provides the land area in square miles and in acres for each county equivalent (or agricultural census area in Alaska). The land area values are based on the area of land polygons from the U.S. Census Bureau's TIGER database. If a county is composed of several polygons, the area value assigned to each polygon is the land area value of the entire county (for the purpose of choropleth mapping). Some of the county-level boundaries were modified to show geographic areas for which Agricultural Census statistics are reported. County American National Standards Institute (ANSI) codes for the modified counties were replaced by Agricultural Census county codes. States with modifications to their county boundaries and county codes are - Alaska, Hawaii, Maryland, Missouri, Virginia (and the District of Columbia). Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The county-level boundary data are highly generalized and suitable for use in small scale (1:20,000,000) thematic mapping applications. No accuracy tests were performed.
