Census Tract Reference Maps, by Census Metropolitan Areas or Census Agglomerations
Abstract
The Census Tract Reference Maps, by Census Metropolitan Areas or Census Agglomerations cover all 33 census metropolitan areas and the 15 census agglomerations in the census tract program. The maps show the boundaries and names of census tracts and census subdivisions within the census metropolitan areas or census agglomerations, with one to 10 maps covering each area. There are 131 maps in the series and inset maps were created to show detail for the more concentrated areas.
The maps also display census subdivision boundaries with detailed street network and other visible features such as railroads, rivers and lakes. The maps vary in scale and size; the maximum dimensions are 86 cm by 61 cm (34 inches by 24 inches).
A reference guide is available (92-146-GIE).
All maps in the Census Tract Reference Maps, by Census Metropolitan Areas or Census Agglomerations series will be issued in two versions. The first version (January 16, 2007) depicts census metropolitan areas and census agglomerations with their respective component census subdivisions and census tracts. The second version (March 13, 2007) includes additional information depicting component urban core, secondary urban core, urban fringe and rural fringe, as well as designated places. The urban core, secondary urban core, urban fringe and rural fringe, as well as designated places available in the March 13, 2007 series, are delineated based on population distributions from the 2006 Census.
