State Boundaries of Mexico

The purpose of this state is to fill a need for the state boundaries for all
of Mexico. It was collected for the National Atlas project with the intentions
to be released to the USGS and be used in reports and on maps that show all or
part of Mexico.

This data set represents the state (political) boundaries of Mexico. The
Digital Chart of the World data set had incomplete state boundaries, which was
the reason to create this coverage. It was digitized from a 1992 CIA map at a
scale of 1:3 million. The coast line came from the Digital Chart of the world
at a scale of 1:1 million. The state names were labeled from the map and an
attribute to help fill the states was added. The labeling process was done
manually.
