Original GIS polygon dataset derived from the 1990 Census Bureau's TIGER files. The original scale of the data is 1:100,000 and covers the entire state of Mississippi. Using coding from the TIGER files, this dataset includes only county boundaries. Selected attributes for U.S. Census STF1B and STF3A for population, economic, and housing data are included. *** Data was last updated in April 2007 using 1:24,000 USGS Digital Raster Graphics. ** Additional edits were made in October 2010 from input from Lamar County E911 Coordinator Freda Rocker**
The data were created in support of the MARIS Technical Center (MTC) framework data development effort.
County boundaries were extracted from this file to form individual county borders. However, Census information is only available for the statewide file.

Attribute values were validated via cross-checks with exisiting data resources including photographs, maps, imagery, and scientific reports.
All line work is checked for topological integrity and to ensure that polygons are fully enclosed, no duplicate lines or points exists, line segments are composed of sequentially numbered coordinate pairs, intersecting lines are separated by a node, and no dangling lines exist. Topological checks and strucuturing are performed using the ArcInfo software. Data dictionary specification are automatically implemented via the ESRI Info database management software. Data collected from external data providers are randomly verified.
The data are complete with respect to the data publication date and scale.
Feature locations were were validated via cross-checks with exisiting data resources including photographs, maps, imagery, and scientific reports.
Data were extracted from the 2000 U.S. Census and then updated to reflect county and state political boundary changes.

The data was originally acquired using 1990 Census TIGER lines. The data was updated by MARIS staff using 1:24,000 DRGS. Additional clarification was made using BOEM MS/AL Submerged Lands Act Boundary and MDEQ - MS/LA tidal leases boundaries (see Process Steps).

The following is a process document by MDEQ- Office of Geology on their development of the MS/LA border.
The Mississippi Louisiana Boundary 2/26/10 Barbara Yassin
The Mississippi state boundary, starting at the mouth of the Pearl River going east to where it meets the Federal boundary, was generated based on the following:
The 1906 Supreme Court decision that describes the Mississippi – Louisiana boundary and where it will be permanently buoyed and delineated on a map “made up of the parts of charts Nos. 190 and 191 of the U.S Coast and Geodetic Survey” The Mylar copy of the combined charts is T-sheet # 2954a. It was georectified, the buoy coordinates were mapped and the boundary line to the last marked buoy was digitized. From the last buoy, running east to the federal boundary, the adopted 1969 Mississippi Sound Lease Block Map was georectified and digitized. It stays consistent with what the Office of Geology has historically recognized and used previously. In more detail: The lease block map is the result of the “Mississippi Code of 1972, 29-7-3 Lease of state lands for minerals; …” where it states, “The Department of Environmental Quality is authorized to employ competent engineering personnel to survey the territorial waters of this state in the Mississippi Sound and the Gulf of Mexico and to prepare a map or plat of such territorial waters, …. The commission is authorized to adopt such survey, plat or map for leasing of such submerged lands for mineral development; and such leases may, after the adoption of such plat or map, be made by reference to the map or plat, which shall be on permanent file with the commission and a copy thereof on file in the Office of the State Oil and Gas Board.”
This map was adopted by a commission in 1969. Then in 2004 Mississippi Senate bill no. 2853 added:
The commission may only offer for lease the state-owned lands in Blocks 40, 41, 42, 43, 63, 64 and 66 through 98, inclusive, as shown on the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality Bureau of Geology Plat of Lease Blocks (Open File Report 151) on terms and conditions and for a length of time as determined by the commission.
To create 151 in digital form, I scanned the 1969 lease block map and it was georectified. I displayed it in 1927 state plane east zone and checked the coordinates displayed on the gradicule lines for accuracy. Going east, I used snapping to connect the end of the arcs and using the 1969 boundary, digitized the Mississippi boundary from the last 1909 buoy to the federal-state boundary. The federal-state boundary was downloaded from Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE): http://www.data.bsee.gov/homepg/data_center/mapping/geographic_mapping.asp
This Fed/State boundary delineates the state seaward boundary for the Gulf of Mexico from the Submerged Lands Act.

It stays consistent with what the Office of Geology has historically recognized and used previously for a boundary. It is also used in the 2007 Gulf Regional base mapping MDEM project. PROCESS STEP ► WHEN THE PROCESS OCCURRED 2015-05-20 00:00:00 DESCRIPTION MARIS staff used the original stbnd shapefile as a starting point. In the background was the BOEM Submerged Lands Act Boundary and the MDEQ Louisiana/ Mississippi border. Line types/colors for the background data were chosen to allow the edited stbnd layer to be drawn over the base information. Editing was performed at 1:1,500 scale ensuring a very tight match. Vertices of stbnd were moved along the Coastal boundaries to snap to the BOEM data and the MDEQ background line data. This was performed across the entire MS Gulf Coast region May 20, 2015

To ensure the MARIS stbnd layer would match the official federal government state boundaries along the Gulf Coast of Mississippi.
