The following maps were imported from Census data obtained from ftp://ftp.census.gov/pub/tiger/boundary/

Map: State-Equivalent Data

These 1990 State-Equivalent boundary files were created by combining the state mif files from the Census FTP server and the U.S. Territories State-Equivalent boundary files with MapInfo.

1990 State - In addition to the 50 States, the Census Bureau treats the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and each of the outlying areas (American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Palau, and the Virgin Islands of the United States) as the statistical equivalent of a State for the purpose of data presentation. The State geocode consists of a 2-digit State FIPS code.

Note: Included in this file are only those state-equivalent areas that the FCC licenses on a regional basis. These areas include, in addition to the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the United States Virgin Islands. The Commission does have licensing authority over other outlying areas but does not license them on a regional basis.
