TIGER ® Data
TIGER (Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing) files
are a digital database of geographic features including roads, railroads, rivers,
lakes, political boundaries, etc. which cover the entire United States. The
database contains information about these features such as their location (in
latitude and longitude), the name, the type of feature, address ranges for most
streets, the geographic relationship to other features, and other related
information. They are the public product created from the U.S. Census Bureau’s
database of geographic information.
TIGER data can be downloaded from the internet (http://www.census.gov/geo/
www/tiger/index.html) in a compressed format for a selected county or data
layer. If your farm is part of multiple counties, download each one as they will
form a composite TIGER data layer on the farm map. After downloading the data,
import it into JDOffice for viewing on the corresponding farm map.
Used in conjunction with your farm maps, TIGER data gives you a geographical
perspective of the fields at a farm level. These maps can be printed.
Note: To remove the TIGER data from the farm map, uncheck Show
TIGER data on the TIGER Info Preferences tab. Although you
cannot see it, the data is still saved in JDOffice.
