			<abstract>This map layer portrays the Congressional Districts of the United
States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands for the 113th Congress. </abstract>
			<purpose>These data are intended for geographic display and analysis at the
national level, and for large regional areas.  The data should be
displayed and analyzed at scales appropriate for 1:2,000,000-scale
data.  No responsibility is assumed by the National Atlas of the United
States in the use of these data.
			</purpose>
			<supplinf>Many States have more detailed Congressional district information available online; links for most  States are provided under the source information.  For States where a link is not listed, please contact the State government for further information.</supplinf>

				<procdesc>Working one State at a time, the State district data were downloaded and added to a geodatabase 
          that also contained the State and county boundaries, roads, and streams.  The State district data 
          were compared to the other data sets.  Most State district data sets are more detailed than 
          the 1:1,000,000-scale National Atlas data.

          Where a county contained only one congressional district, the county boundaries were copied into 
          a geodatabase feature class called Final_districts; they were then attributed with the 
          appropriate district number and State.  

          Where a county included multiple congressional districts, the district boundaries were checked 
          against the Counties, Roads, and Streams; if a district boundary followed the county boundary, a 
          road, or a stream (within 300 meters), the linework was extracted from the applicable layer and 
          copied into the Partial feature class.  If a district boundary was more than 300 meters from an 
          existing 1:1,000,000-scale feature, the boundary was generalized as appropriate for the data 
          scale and added to the Partial feature class.  Features were not moved more than 500 meters from 
          their position as provided in the State district data.  The resulting polygons were copied into 
          the Final_districts feature class and attributed with the district number and State.

          For States that only have one Congressional district, the State boundaries were extracted and 
          added to the Final_districts feature class.

          Features were dissolved based on district number and state.  Topology errors were corrected.

          Attribute information identifying representatives for each district was added from the Senate and 
          House data sources. </procdesc>
