Abstract The 2006 Second Edition TIGER/Line files are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the Census TIGER database. The geographic coverage for a single TIGER/Line file is a county or statistical equivalent entity, with the coverage area based on the latest available governmental unit boundaries. The Census TIGER database represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts. However, each county-based TIGER/Line file is designed to stand alone as an independent data set or the files can be combined to cover the whole Nation. The 2006 Second Edition TIGER/Line files consist of line segments representing physical features and governmental and statistical boundaries. This shapefile represents the current State Senate Districts for New Mexico as posted on the Census Bureau website for 2006.

Purpose In order for others to use the information in the Census TIGER database in a geographic information system (GIS) or for other geographic applications, the Census Bureau releases to the public extracts of the database in the form of TIGER/Line files. This shapefile represents the current State Senate Districts for New Mexico as posted on the Census Bureau website for 2006.

Supplemental Information The TIGER/Line data are not in a mapping projection even though most of the features were scanned directly from source maps that were in a projection. To find out more about TIGER/Line files and other Census TIGER database derived data sets visit http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger. This shapefile was created by using the conversion tool TGR2SHP version 7.0. The shapefile was projection defined using ArcCatalog v 9.2.
