vector digital data
Municipal Boundaries from Census 2010 as a line feature class.
The Municipal Boundaries from Census 2010 polygon feature class was created by dissolving the Census 2010 Block data on the COUSUBFP10 (county subdivision) field. Community-based attributes such as town name, ID and population were then added. This dataset may be used as basemap data when mapping Census 2010 geography, as other municipal boundary layers from MassGIS will not line up exactly with the Census geography.
