[GIS] find the highest resolution shapefiles for counties or states

datalidarshapefile

I am looking for a download source which has the highest resolution (greatest detail/accuracy) for all counties in the US. More specifically I run into this problem mainly when dealing with the shorelines. I realize that one can download high resolution shoreline data, overlay the tiger shapefiles for the counties and then clip them but I figured someone might have already done this.

Best Answer

Take a look at: http://www.census.gov/geo/www/cob/co2000.html and http://www.census.gov/geo/www/cob/cs2000.html for counties and county-subdivisions

hope this helps
