Georeferenced Population Datasets of Mexico (GEO-MEX): Urban Place GIS Coverage of Mexico

The Urban Place GIS Coverage of Mexico is a vector based point Geographic Information System (GIS) coverage of 696 urban places in Mexico. Each Urban Place is geographically referenced down to one tenth of a minute. The attribute data include time-series population and selected census/geographic data items for Mexican urban places from from 1921 to 1990. The cartographic data include urban place point locations on a state boundary file of Mexico. This data set is produced by the Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) in collaboration with the Instituto Nacional de Estadistica Geografia e Informatica (INEGI) and the Environmental Research Institute (ERI) of Michigan.

墨西哥城镇点位地理信息系统（Geographic Information System，GIS）覆盖数据集是一套基于矢量的点位型地理信息系统数据，涵盖墨西哥境内696个城镇点位。所有城镇点位的地理参考精度均精确至十分之一分。其属性数据包含1921年至1990年间墨西哥城镇点位的时序人口数据，以及经筛选的人口普查与地理信息相关数据项。制图数据则包含墨西哥州界文件中的城镇点位坐标。本数据集由哥伦比亚大学国际地球科学信息网络中心（CIESIN）联合墨西哥国家统计、地理与信息研究所（INEGI）以及密歇根大学环境研究所（ERI）共同制作完成。
