Census Counties, 1990 - Louisiana

Description:

This datalayer displays the counties for the state, based on a ground condition of January 1, 1990. The primary legal divisions of most states are termed ''counties.''

The first-order divisions of Louisiana are parishes; Louisiana has no primary divisions, the entire area is considered equivalent to a county for data presentation purposes.
