- Description:
- Abstract:
- Transportation for Wyoming, including interstates, state and county highways, neighborhood and connecting roads, jeep trails, and other road and trail types, developed by the US Census at 1:100,000-scale. The Wyoming Water Resources Lab has tiled this information together by 1:100,000 quadrangles for Wyoming and created an attribute table which contains a description of the primary road/trail attribute, CFCC.
A subset of this dataset is also available, including only federal and state highways for simplified display purposes. In order to reduce the size of this subset, the line segments were dissolved to remove unecessary segments.
The data is available (both statewide and tiles) in ARC/INFO export file format and in ArcView shapefile format.
- Purpose:
- To provide a base transportation network for GIS display and analysis.

- Entity_and_Attribute_Information:
- Overview_Description:
- Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
- There are two items of interest in the arc attribute table. CFCC contains a detailed coding scheme for roads and trails. Explanation for these codes can be found in the accompanying INFO file, tigerroad.class (the same information is also in roadclass.dbf for ArcView users). The item ROADCLASS is a reclassification of the CFCC attributes into a less complex scheme with only 5 values: 10 (interstate), 20 (state highway), 30 (connecting or county roads), 40 (neighborhood roads), and 50 (jeep trails).
