�e TIGERweb application contains the latest boundaries of legally de�ned geographic areas, generally re�ecting the boundaries of governmental units in e�ect as of January 1, 2017. �e application also includes physical features such as hydrography, transportation, and special land use areas.

Among other uses, the TIGERweb supports the annual Boundary and Annexation Survey and data dissemination.

TIGERweb o�ers the ability to view:

• Linear features • Roads and highways • Railroads • Rivers and streams • Areal features • Rivers, lakes, and glaciers • Parks, military, correctional facilities, and colleges and universities • Boundaries for legal and statistical entities

Because geographic and locational context and relationships are important, the TIGERweb application determines which geographic entities and features may be visible based on map scale (see legend to the right).

Users have the capability to turn on and o� linear features and geographic entities by type. �is allows users to control the data displayed on the map.

TIGERweb WMS and TIGERweb REST Services allow users to integrate Census data into their GIS and/or custom web-based applications
