Description: The Maryland county boundaries were built using the USGS Topo Quads, county boundaries from the county governments, monument points, and historic records from the Maryland Archive. This layer has been dissolved from the County Boundaries layer.
Description: Polygon features which represent the political boundary of each county in the State of Maryland.
The Maryland Political County Boundaries were developed using USGS Topo Quads, boundaries submitted by each Maryland county, monument points, and historic records from the Maryland Archive. This data is used by various modules throughout the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT), as well as many other State and local government agencies for purposes such as planning, land use, transportation, data & asset collection, and cartographic product development.
This data is updated and published on an annual (yearly) basis for the prior year. This data is for the year 2015.

Description: Polygon layer contains incorporated municipal boundaries in Maryland. This dataset is created and maintained by the Maryland Department of Planning.
Description: This dataset is the Maryland ZIP codes based on the most current MD PropertyView data. In 1993, the Maryland Department of Planning and the Maryland State Highway Administration entered into a Data Base Usage Agreement with Bell Atlantic and Data Chromatics, Inc. to develop an enhanced street address map for Maryland. Zip Code boundary area files were one of the products derived from this partnership. The resulting boundary area files were intended to improve the cartographic quality and accuracy of the zip code boundary area files derived from the U.S. Census Bureau's post 1990 Census TIGER\Line Files (based on the Census Bureau's zip code tabulation areas, ZCTAs). Subsequent iterative improvements to the Zip Code boundary area files have been made using premise address information associated with mapped parcel records as provided in the Maryland Department of Planning's MdProperty View GIS product. The resulting files are meant to serve as a "good approximation" of zip codes as polygons (which in reality they are not) but are not official Zip Code maps and are not meant to be a substitute for any products offered by the U.S. Postal Service, the official source for zip code information. While there are no restrictions on their use we do recommend that they are best used with MdProperty View and that MDP makes no guarantee or warranty regarding the files. For information on the date of the data to each jurisdiction's corresponding MdProperty View edition, see the production schedule located here: https://planning.maryland.gov/Documents/OurProducts/PropertyMapProducts/Sched.pdf.
