This resource is a member of a series. The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) System (MTS). The MTS represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. The All Roads shapefile includes all features within the MTS Super Class "Road/Path Features" distinguished where the MAF/TIGER Feature Classification Code (MTFCC) for the feature in the MTS that begins with "S". This includes all primary, secondary, local neighborhood, and rural roads, city streets, vehicular trails (4wd), ramps, service drives, alleys, parking lot roads, private roads for service vehicles (logging, oil fields, ranches, etc.), bike paths or trails, bridle/horse paths, walkways/pedestrian trails, and stairways.

The Census Bureau includes landmarks in the MTS for locating special features and to help enumerators during field operations. Some of the more common landmark types include airports, cemeteries, parks, schools, and churches and other religious institutions. The Census Bureau adds landmark features to MTS on an as-needed basis and does not ensure that all instances of a particular feature are included. The presence or absence of a landmark such as a hospital or prison does not mean that the living quarters associated with that landmark were geocoded to that census tabulation block or excluded from the census enumeration. The Area Landmark shapefile does not include military installations or water bodies because they appear in their own separate shapefiles, mil.shp and areawater.shp respectively.

The Address Range/Feature Name Relationship File contains a record for each address range/linear feature name relationship. The purpose of this relationship file is to identify all street names associated with each address range. An edge can have several feature names; an address range located on an edge can be associated with one or any combination of the available feature names (an address range can be linked to multiple feature names). The address range is identified by the address range identifier (ARID) attribute that can be used to link to the Address Range Relationship File (addr.dbf). The linear feature name is identified by the linear feature identifier (LINEARID) attribute which can be used to link to the Feature Names Relationship File (featnames.dbf).
