Elliott C. Back: In Aere Aedificare

US States GIS Dataset

Posted in Code, Matlab by Elliott Back on November 30th, 2004.

As promised, I’ve got the cleaned up US state boundary data, perfect for creating visualizations in Excel or Matlab. It’s a dataset of (x,y) points for each state, cleaned so that all of the state boundaries lie exactly on top of each other. So, the map is a continuous set of polygons. Here are a couple pictures:

Download it in Matlab .mat or Excel .xls, and feel free to use it in any projects.

    How can I use this dataset to, say, obtain the northern parallel for New Mexico in D/M/S?
