Name: Michigan State Boundary US Census ibc

Display Field: CLASSFP

Type: Feature Layer

Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon

Description: The state of Michigan boundary was created using US Census Bureau Tiger data (2010) for boundaries between US states and the International Boundary Commission international boundary shapefile (downloaded from their website at http://www.internationalboundarycommission.org/en/maps-coordinates/coordinates.phpon 2/20/2018) for the international boundary.The data was processed in the native geographical coordinate system (NAD 1983), but when projected into Michigan Georef, the international boundary appeared distorted in some areas, not because the underlying data was incorrect but because the data was reprojected for long stretches of lines using only two vertices. In Lake Superior, this created a difference of up to 1 mile along the border for the line segment that extended from near Isle Royale to Whitefish Point with only 2 vertices. To minimize this distortion upon reprojection into Michigan Georef, line segments were broken into smaller pieces. This was done by first using the Generate Points Along Line tool to create points approximately every 600 meters along the international boundary. Then, the Split Line at Point tool to was used to split the international boundary line at 600 meter increments using the points created by the Generate Points Along Line tool. This line was then converted to a polygon, which was used to clip the Tiger census data at the international boundary. V1 03/05/2017
