......particularly good news for states like Maine that aggregate boundary
for Census through MEGIS (Thanks Mike!).  Progress has also been made
getting Census to adopt E911 and MDOT roads.  Consistency between local,
federal and state map products is very important..... Dan

*TIGER Turns 25, Added to TNM:* In conjunction with the 25th anniversary of
the Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (TIGER
<https://www.census.gov/geo/maps-data/data/tiger.html>) database, the
U.S. Census
Bureau <https://www.census.gov/> and the USGS are issuing a joint release
to announce that The National Map Viewer
<http://nationalmap.gov/viewer.html> and US Topo
<http://nationalmap.gov/ustopo/index.html> maps will use TIGER data
starting in 2015. The TIGER roads layer, which consists of all roads in the
US, joins the TIGER governmental unit boundaries layer as an authoritative
source of current, accurate and high-quality geospatial data for reliable
map products. http://1.usa.gov/1F4h7UV
