| Ordering Instructions | This data set is distributed on the internet in two ways. Clicking the link under 'Online Linkage' allows you to preview the data and download part or all of the data set in shapefile format. Alternatively, you can download the entire dataset in shapefile format from the LGO FTP site. Interactive map download: When you access the interactive map download site from the 'Online Linkage', this data layer appears in the map box. The interactive map allows you to examine the linework of the data set and its attributes before you decide to download it. You can designate the area you wish to download by drawing a box on the screen with the 'zoom in' tool. Then use the 'download' tool to download the subset of the file to your own machine in ArcView shapefile format. The shapefile, associated data tables, metadata, and liability notice are all included in the download. Besides the data layer which you have selected, this map may contain related data sets as well as reference information. You may choose to examine and download any of the related data sets at the same time. See the help at the site for more detail. FTP download: To download the entire file, point your browser to: ftp://ftp.commissions.leg.state.mn.us/pub/gis/Redist2000/Shape/lccblk2000.zip The 'ZIP' file contains the following: - DBF file - SHP file - SHX file Choose the option to save this file to disk and designate a local location. |
