Shape files for use with arcgis
These shape files can be used with ArcGIS. Many of them are taken from the census shape file website. Census shape files are useful, but may not be the most up to date or accurate shape files available. They are, however, free of charge. The files are zipped and can be unzipped using Winzip or another unzip software package.
