The datasets marked with an asterisk (*) are the original data files from which the layers in our interactive map applications are derived. The fields in the original data differ from those shown in the interactive map applications in the following ways:

  • Some of the field names in the data below may differ slightly from the names used for the same fields in the interactive map applications; users should be able to correlate the differently named fields based on the contents of the fields.
  • Some fields displayed in the interactive map applications are derived from external linked tables, and are therefore not integral to the main original data files and not listed in the HTML metadata; the external tables containing these fields are included in the downloadable files.
  • The main metadata file may describe some fields that do not display in the interactive map applications; these are fields that exist in the original data file that we opted not to display in the interactive map applications.
