......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) database, the U.S. Census Bureau and the USGS are issuing a joint release to announce that The National Map Viewer and US Topo 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
