Data extent to the nearest quarter degree is 141.00 E to 64.50 W longitude and 14.75 S to 71.50 N latitude. TL2009 in this document refers to metadata content inherited from the original U.S. Census Bureau (2009) TIGER\/Line shapefile. TL2009: The TIGER\/Line Shapefiles are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the Census MAF\/TIGER database. The Census MAF\/TIGER database represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts. However, each TIGER\/Line Shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent dataset or the shapefiles can be combined to cover the whole nation.",
