Data are distributed by county. Those counties marked with asterisks contain gaps in coverage where source data was not sufficient to completely map the entire county. These zipped Arc/Info shapefiles range in size from about 2 to 24 megabytes (MB) in size, depending on the county's size and the density of the data.
