Description:
Abstract:
Boundaries of Texas counties.



This coverage shows and contains in its attributes disaster district boudaries including a detailed version of the Texas coastline with bays and estuaries.  It does not contain the 3-marine league line, which is the legal boundary separating state and federal ownership.
Purpose:
To show county boundaries for the State of Texas for the Texas Hazard Mitigation Package (THMP).
Supplemental_Information:
Each county was digitized separately and some county lines may not agree. Many county boundaries in Texas are indefinite and have never been surveyed. County boundaries are approximate and should not be used to delineate property boundaries.
