Description:
Abstract:
This data set includes cities in the United States including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. These cities were collected from the 1970 National Atlas of the United States. Where applicable, U.S. Census Bureau codes for named populated places were associated with each name to allow additional information to be attached. The Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) was also used as a source for additional information. This is a revised version of the November 2000 data set.
Purpose:
These data are intended for geographic display and analysis at the national level, and for large regional areas. The data should be displayed and analyzed at scales appropriate for 1:2,000,000-scale data. No responsibility is assumed by the U.S. Geological Survey in the use of these data.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Digitized place names from the 1970 National Atlas of the United States were compared with U.S. Census Bureau place names from the Codes for Named Populated Places (FIPS 55-DC3). Where there were discrepancies, names from the GNIS were used. A small number of places could not be assigned FIPS-55-DC3 codes and were removed from the data set. Minor positional corrections were also made.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
No spatial data was changed in ATLAS-CITIES98. The following edits were made to the ATLAS-CITIES98 attribute data base file. In the Feature field, inconsistencies were removed and the population ranges were corrected as necessary to match the 1990 population information in the Pop field. Unnecessary fields were deleted (Idnum, Capcode, Stid). Fields were added for State, State_Fips, and County. Lakewood Center, Washington was changed to Lakewood, Washington with a population of 58412. Incorrect population information for Lakewood, Snohomish County was deleted. Boise City, Idaho was changed to Boise, Idaho.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Points generated from the GAZETTEER text file were added to ATLAS-CITIES00; points with duplicate FIPS55 codes were removed. County, State, and FIPS data from ATLAS-CITIES00 were compared and corrected, if necessary, with data from FIPS55-3 index, and with the populated place text file (pop_places_deci) from the GNIS anonymous ftp site. Remaining incorporated and Census Designated Places (CDP's) from GNIS were added; all unincorporated and non-CDP places were then removed from ATLAS-CITIES00. A few populated places in high density areas were filtered out. Population data from the POP_ESTIMATE and GAZETTER files were added to ATLAS-CITIES00 (a population value of -99999 was used where population data was not available). Some places were updated with new FIPS55 codes since the last online release (1998). Minor positional corrections were made using ATLAS-HY and ATLAS-CNTY as references. A display attribute, based on population size and distance to nearest town, was added to determine which place names will be shown at the most detailed scale on the National Atlas interactive map browser.
