The U.S. Census Bureau conducts the Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS) annually to collect information about selected legally defined geographic areas. The BAS is used to update information about the legal boundaries and names of governmental units in the United States. The 2012 BAS maps display the updated legal boundaries and names valid thru January 1, 2011, for all governmental units that participated in the 2011 BAS.
The 2012 BAS Maps are an entity-based map series. These reference maps are created for the following geographic entities: counties or county equivalents, minor civil divisions (MCDs), places, consolidated cities, American Indian areas/Alaska Native areas (AIAs) and Hawaiian Home Lands (HHLs).
For more detailed information about the 2012 BAS Maps and their naming conventions, please visit the Description Page.
