FAQ’s<br />

There is a link that will open the Appendix A of the TIGER/Line Technical<br />

Documentation PDF; this documents lists all the counties, by state, and the codes for<br />

each. The PDF will open in the browser window. Scroll through the document until you find<br />

the codes for your county and state.<br />

Make a note of each county’s 5-digit number - this includes the state code. When finished,<br />

click the Back button on the browser to get out of the PDF document. (If you close the<br />

PDF, you will close the Internet.)<br />

You will be back on the same page that had the Documentation section mentioned earlier.<br />

Scroll down that site until you get to the section at the bottom that lists all the states. You<br />

are now ready to download the data.<br />

Begin by clicking on the state that the farm resides in. A list of all the counties will open.<br />

Using the numbers you found in the State and County Codes and Names PDF, locate<br />

the county you want to download. If your farm is part of multiple counties, you will need to<br />

repeat this process for each county; each one as they will form a composite TIGER data<br />

layer on the farm map.<br />

For this example, we are downloading Illinois’ Rock Island county. We know<br />

from the state and county code names that Illinois is 17 and Rock Island<br />

county is 161. So we need to scroll through this list until we reach<br />

TGR17161.ZIP.<br />
