AUTHORITY, AREA COVERED, AND HISTORY 

The 1982 Census of Agriculture was taken in accordance 

with the provisions of title 13, United States Code (Public Law 

93-86). Sections 142 (a) and 191 of title 13 provide for a census 

of agriculture every 5 years in each State, the District of 

Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands. The 1982 

census is the 22d nationwide census of agriculture and the 4th 

conducted primarily by mail. 

SOURCES OF INFORMATION 

The data used in preparing the charts and maps shown were 

obtained from the 1982 Census of Agriculture. Detailed statistics for States and counties may be found in Volume 1, 

Geographic Area Series, of the 1982 census reports. Data from 

1978 and 1982 were derived from the corresponding mail 

enumeration. 

FARM DEFINITION 

The current farm definition used for statistics in this report 

W(1S announced on August 12, 1975, and defines a farm as any 

place from which $1,000 or more of agricultural products were 

sold or normally would have been sold during the census year. 

METHOD OF ENUMERATION 

The 1982 Census of Agriculture was conducted primarily by 

mail for maximum economy, appendix A of Volume 1, Geographic Area Series, provides a more detailed description of how 

the 1982 census was taken. 

AGRICULTURE-SUBJECT SERIES 

CENSUS COVERAGE 

Although a complete and fully accurate count of farms, 

farmland, and farm production is the aim of each nationwide 

census of agriculture, the complex structure of America's 

agriculture makes this goal difficult to achieve. Among the 

complexities are the many places to be enumerated, the variety 

of arrangements under which farms are operated, the continuing 

changes in the relationship of farm operators to the land 

operated, the expiration, initiation, or renewal of leases, 

obtaining a complete listing of all agricultural operators, the 

difficulty of locating and identifying some farms, the operator's 

absence during mail efforts and followup procedures, and the 

operator's opinion that some or all of his agricultural operations 

should not be included in the census. 

LIMITATIONS OF DATA 

Every census or survey has some errors. These can arise from 

incorrect or incomplete reporting, incorrect processing, and the 

inability to obtain a response from all farmers. 

Reported data may be incorrect due to misunderstanding of 

questions or the use of estimates in reporting. During processing, adjustments are made to data items which appear to be 

inconsistent with other items. Some respondents fail to provide 

all of the information requested. In some cases, the respondent 

may indicate the presence of an item but not the amount. 

Imputations are made for missing data on the quantities and 

sales values of crops and livestock, but not for such items as 

direct sales, Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) activity and 

agricultural services provided others. 

For a detailed description of coverage and datil limitations, 

see volume 2, Part 2 Coverage Evaluation, of the 1982 Census of 

Agriculture. 

USE OF SAMPLING 

Some data items were collected from only a sample of farms. 

Data based on a sample are subject to sampling error. Detailed 

discussions of the census report forms, the use of sampling, and 

estimates of sampling error are included in appendix A, Volume 

1, Geographic Area Series.

The maps in this report show data only for 1982, except for 

those showing increase or decrease. The 1982 total for each 

item mapped is shown at the end of this section along with the 

comparable 1978 total. 

Data on acreages and inventories for 1982 and 1978 are 

generally comparable. Dollar figures shown for expenses and 

agricultural product sales have not been adjusted for changes 

in price levels between census years. 

FARMS 

All farms-Denotes all places on which agricultural operations 

were conducted at any time in the census year under the dayto-day control of an individual management, and from which 

$1,000 or more of agricultural products were sold or would 

normally have been sold in 1982. 

Farms with sales of $10,000 and over-Denotes farms with 

sales of agricultural products amounting to at least $10,000, 

excluding farms such as prison farms, hospital farms, church 

farms, school farms, experimental farms, Indian reservations, 

and grazing associations. 

VALUE OF LAND AND BUILDINGS 

The value of land and buildings reported for the census is 

the farm operators estimate of market value; i.e., the price for 

which the land and buildings would sell at the time the census 

was taken. If the value of land and buildings was not reported 

AGRICULTURE-SUBJECT SERIES 

or was incomplete, an estimate was supplied during processing 

by using the average value per acre of land and buildings for 

farms of approximately the same size having similar characteristics in the same area. 

The total value of land and buildings for all farms in the 

United States was $774 billion. The average value per farm was 

$345,869, and the average value per acre was $784. 

For many groups of counties in the West, the maps exhibiting value of land and buildings per farm show reverse 

patterns as compared with maps showing value of land and 

buildings per acre; i.e., many counties in high value-per-farm 

categories appear in low value-per-acre categories. This reverse 

relationship between the two pattern maps happens because 

a large proportion of land in farms is comprised of low valueper-acre rangeland, and the extremely large average size of the 

farms and ranches offsets the low average-per-acre value, resulting in high average-per-farm values. 

SIZE OF FARMS 

Although the number of farms in the United States has 

dropped drastically in the last 40 years, the acreage of land in 

farms has changed only moderately; as a result, the average 

size of a farm is now nearly two and one-half times what it 

was in 1945. 

The trend since 1945 until the 1978 census had been a decrease in the number of farms for each of the size groups under 

500 acres and an increase in the number of farms in size groups 

over 500 acres. However, the results of better coverage for 1978 

and 1982, along with growth in part-time farm numbers in 

many areas, show an increase in farms less than 100 acres in 

size. Part of this is due to the inflationary effect on the value 

of sales resulting in more places being classified as farms. 

Size of farm measured only by acres operated is often not 

a complete measure of the size of the farm business due to 

large variations in the productivity of land or in the intensity 

of activity. For example, average value of farm products sold 

per acre of farmland can vary from such extremes as $1,864 

per acre in Suffolk County, NY ,to less than $11 per acre in 

Elko County, NV. 

STANDARD INDUSTRIAL CLASSIFICATION OF 

FARMS 

All agricultural establishments (farms, ranches, nurseries, 

greenhouses, etc.) in the 1982 census were classified by type of 

principal activity or activities using the standard industrial 

classification system. 

In order for a farm to be classified within a particular industry, the value of sales in 1982 from a product or group of 

products had to represent 50 percent or more of the total 

value of sales of agricultural products sold. 

EXPLANATION OF MAPPED DATA XIII 
Cash Grain Farms (011) 

These farms receive SO percent or more of their total sales 

from wheat, rice, corn, sorghum, soybeans, other small grains, 

cowpeas, dry field and seed beans and peas, popcorn, lentils, 

and mustard and safflower seed. 

Cash grain farms increased in number from 573,798 in 1978 

to 576,548 in 1982. They comprise 2S.7 percent of all farms. 

They average 499 acres in size and $58,525 in value of agricultural products sold. The greatest concentration of cash 

grain farms is in the Midwest, where corn and soybeans are 

the principal crops sold. 

Wheat farms (0111)-Wheat farms are cash grain farms which 

receive 50 percent or more of their total sales of agricultural 

products from wheat. They account for 16.7 percent of the 

total cash grain farms and average 958 acres in size and $50,789 

in value of agricultural products sold. The largest concentration 

of wheat farms is in the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Montana, Washington, and Oregon. 

Rice farms (0112)-Rice farms are those which receive 50 

percent or more of their total value of agricultural products 

sold from rice. They average 841 acres in size and $159,469 in 

value of agricultural products sold. They are primarily located 

in Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, California, and on the gulf 

coast of Texas. 

Corn farms (0115)-Corn farms are those which receive 50 

percent or more of their total sales from corn. They comprise 

30.6 percent of the cash grain farms and 7.9 percent of all 

farms. They average 332 acres in size and $62,318 in value of 

agricultural products sold. These farms are mostly concentrated in the East North Central States. 

Soybean farms (0116)-Soybean farms are those which receive 

50 percent or more of their total sales from soybeans. They 

account for 22.5 percent of the cash grain farms and 5.8 percent 

of all farms. They average 275 acres in size and $34,906 in value 

of agricultural products sold. They are primarily located in the 

Midwest 1 States, east of the Mississippi River, and along the 

Mississippi River in Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, 

and Louisiana. 

Field Crops, Except Cash Grains (013) 

Cotton farms (0131)-Cotton farms are those which receive 50 

percent or more of their sales from cotton. Cotton farms 

average 836 acres in size and $149,767 in value of agricultural 

products sold. They are located almost entirely in the South 

and in irrigated areas of the Southwest. About 73 percent of 

the bales of cotton harvested comes from places classified as 

cotton farms. 

Tobacco farms (0132)-Tobacco farms are those which receive 

50 percent or more of their total sales from tobacco. These 

farms comprise 5.9 percent of all farms. They are the smallest, 

both in terms of average size (105 acres) and value of sales 

from agricultural products sold ($21,196). Nearly all tobacco 

1 Formerly North Central. 

XIV EXPLANATION OF MAPPED DATA 

farms are in six Southern States-North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, KentUCky, Tennessee, and Maryland. Over 78 

percent of all totacco harvested on farms comes from tobacco 

farms. 

Sugar crop farms (0133)-Sugar crop farms are those which 

receive 50 percent or more of their total sales of agricultural 

products from the sale of sugar beets or sugarcane. They average 

904 acres in size and $334,824 in value of agricultural products 

sold. These farms are located in the irrigated areas of the 

Western States (sugar beets) and in Florida, Louisiana, and 

Hawaii (sugarcane). 

Irish potato farms (0134)-These farms receive 50 percent or 

more of their total sales from the sale of Irish potatoes. They 

average 579 acres in size and $213,872 in value of farm products sold. Most of them are located in Maine, Idaho, and North 

Dakota. 

Vegetable and Melon Farms (016) 

Farms are classified in this group if 50 percent or more of 

their total agricultural sales are from the sale of vegetables or 

melons. They are widely scattered, with significant concentrations in California, Michigan, Wisconsin, New Jersey, New York, 

Florida, and Texas. The production of vegetables and melons is 

concentrated on a relatively small number of large, highly specialized farms. 

Fruit and Tree Nut Farms (017) 

Fruit and tree nut farms receive 50 percent or more of their 

total value of agricultural sales from berries, grapes, tree nuts, 

citrus fruits, deciduous tree fruits (apples, peaches, pears, etc.), 

and other fruits and nuts (pineapples, olives, dates, etc.). These 

farms are highly specialized in that they account for 94.3 percent of the value of all fruits, nuts, and berries sold and 86 

percent of all land in orchards on all farms. 

Horticultural Specialty Farms (018) 

A horticultural specialty farm must receive 50 percent or 

more of its total sales from the sale of ornamental plants, 

nursery products, and food crops grown under cover. This type 

of farm tends to be located close to large urban areas. 

General Farms, Primarily Crop (019) 

Any farm receiving 50 percent or more of its total value of 

sales of agricultural products from crops, but less than 50 

percent from products of any other single crop group, is classified as a general farm, primarily crop. 

Livestock, Except Dairy, Poultry, and Animal 

Specialties (021) 

These farms receive 50 percent or more of their total value of 

agricultural products from the sale of beef cattle, hogs, sheep, 

and goats. 

Beef cattle feedlots (0211 )-Beef cattle feedlots are farms which 

receive 50 percent or more of their total sales of agricultural 

products from the sale of beef cattle fattened for a period of at 

least 30 days. This group includes beef cattle which are fed on a 

contract or fee basis. 

AGRICULTURE-SUBJECT SERIES 
Beef cattle farms, except feedlots (0212)-Beef cattle farms, 

except feedlots, derive 50 percent or more of their total value 

of agricultural products sold from the sale of nonfattened beef 

cattle. 

Hog farms (0213)-Hog farms derive 50 percent or more of their 

total value of agricultural products sold from the sale of hogs 

and pigs. These farms are most concentrated in the corn belt 

States. 

Sheep and goat farms (0214)-Sheep and goat farms receive 50 

percent or more of their total value of agricultural products 

sold from the sale of sheep, goats, goat's milk, wool, and mohair. These farms are primarily located in Texas, California, 

and other Western States. 

Dairy Farms (024) 

Dairy farms receive 50 percent or more of their total value of 

agricultural products sold from the sale of milk and cream. In 

addition, farms with 30 percent or more of total sales from milk 

and cream are classified as dairy farms provided that milk cows 

represent 50 percent or more of the total cows, and the value of 

dairy products sold plus the value of cattle and calves sold 

amount to 50 percent or more of the total value of all agricultural products sold. 

Poultry and Egg Farms (025) 

Poultry farms are those which receive 50 percent or more of 

their value of sales of agricultural products from chickens, 

chicken eggs, broilers, turkeys, turkey eggs, hatched chicks, and 

other poultry and poultry products. Poultry farms account for 

97.7 percent of the value of sales of all poultry and poultry 

products, 98.9 percent of broilers sold, and 98.0 percent of 

turkeys sold. Although poultry farms are found throughout the 

country, their greatest concentration is in the broiler producing 

areas of Arkansas, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, Mississippi, Maryland, and Texas. 

Animal Specialty Farms (027) 

Animal specialty farms are those which receive 50 percent 

or more of their total value of agricultural sales from the sale 

of furbearing animals, rabbits, horses, mules, donkeys, ponies, 

honey, fish, worms, and other animal specialties. 

General Farms, Primarily Livestock (029) 

These farms receive 50 percent or more of their value of 

agricultural products sold from the sale of livestock and livestock products, including animal specialties, but less than 50 

percent from any single livestock or livestock product group. 

VALUE OF SALES 

The value of sales represents the gross market value before 

taxes and production expenditures of all agricultural products 

sold or removed from the place in 1982 regardless of who 

received or shared in the payment. It includes receipts by the 

operator as well as the value of any shares received by partners, 

landlords, contractors, and others associated with the place. 

AGRICULTURE-SUBJECT SERIES 

This report uses the following value of sales classifications: 

$250,000 or more 

$100,000 to $249,999 

$40,000 to $99,999 

$20,000 to $39,999 

$10,000 to $19,999 

$5,000 to $9,999 

$2,500 to $4,999 

$1,000 to $2,499 

Places having less than the minimum $1,000 sales in the 

census year were counted as farms if they could normally be 

expected to produce agricultural products in sufficient quantity 

to meet the requirements of the definition. 

TENURE AND CHARACTERISTICS OF 

OPERATORS 

Tenure 

Tenure classifications used are: 

Full owners-Operators who operate only the land they 

own. 

Part owners-Operators who operate land th~y own and 

also land they rent from others. 

Tenants-Operators who operate only the land they rent 

from others (or work on shares) for others. 

Occupation of Operator 

The 1982 census is the third in which information was 

collected on the operator's principal occupation. Each farm 

operator was asked to classify his or her principal occupation 

as "Farming" or "Other" according to which occupation 

accounted for the majority (50 percent or more) of the operator's worktime in 1982. For partnerships, the worktime of 

all of the members of the partnership together was considered 

in determining principal occupation. 

TYPE OF ORGANIZATION 

The 1982 census is the fourth in which farm operators were 

asked to indicate the type of organization under which their 

farm was operated. The four classifications used for type of 

organization are: 

1. Individual or family operation (sole proprietorship), 

excluding partnership and corporation. 

2_ Partnership operation, including family partnership 

3. Corporation, including family corporations. 

4. Other, including farms operated as cooperatives, estates 

and trusts, and abnormal farms such as institutional 

farms, Indian reservations, grazing associations, and 

experimental farms. 

LAND IN FARMS AND LAND USES 

Land in farms-Each farm operator determined acres of land 

in farm by adding any acreage owned to any acreage rented 

from others then subtracting any acreage rented to others. 

Land in farms consists primarily of agricultural land, i.e., 

land used for crops and pasture or grazing. Also, it includes 

acres of woodland, wasteland, and some cropland not actually 

EXPLANATION OF MAPPED DATA XV 
under cultivation nor used for pasture or grazing. In general, 

all grazing lands were to be included as land in farms except 

lands used for grazing livestock under permit or special license 

on a per-head-of-animal unit basis. 

Total cropland-This includes the sum of acreage for cropland 

harvested, cropland used for pasture or grazing, cropland used 

for cover crops, cropland on which all crops failed, cropland 

in cultivated summer fallow, and idle cropland. 

Harvested cropland-This includes all land from which crops 

were harvested, including hay cut, and all land in orchards, 

citrus groves, and nursery and greenhouse products. 

Pastureland-This is the sum of all types of pastureland. It 

includes cropland used only for pasture or grazing, woodland 

pastured, and other pastureland and rangeland. 

Irrigated land-This is land in farms watered for agricultural 

purposes by artificial means. 

MARKET VALUE OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS 

SOLD 

Farm operators were asked to report the market value of all 

agricultural products sold from the place in 1982. All sales of 

agricultural products during the year were to be reported regardless of when the crop was harvested or when livestock or 

their products were raised or produced. 

Data for the sales of farm products represent total sales for 

the entire farm regardless of who shared the receipts. For 

tenant-operated farms, the landlord's share of the agricultural 

products was considered as sold provided the products were 

moved off the tenant farm. Contract producers were to report 

estimates of the market value of the commodities produced 

rather than the amount received from the contractor. 

DIRECT SALES 

Direct sales is the value of agricultural products produced 

and sold directly to individuals for human consumption. This 

includes the sales of any crops, such as vegetables, fruit, cattle, 

hogs, sheep, chickens, turkeys, milk, cream, eggs, etc. Sales from 

roadside stands, farmers' markets, pick your own activities, 

etc., were to be included. 

CUSTOMWORK AND OTHER AGRICULTURAL 

SERVICES 

This includes the gross amount received before taxes and expenses for any custom work performed for others such as 

plowing, planting, spraying, harvesting, preparing products for 

market, etc., for which the farm operator was paid. 

FARM PRODUCTION EXPENSES 

Farm production expenses are expenses paid by anyone for 

the production on the farm of crops, poultry, livestock, and 

other agricultural products. Tenant farmers were instructed 

to report expenses by landlords for agricultural operations on 

the farm as well as their own expenses. Farm operators who 

rent part of their land to others were to report only those 

XVI EXPLANATION OF MAPPED DATA 

expenses applicable to the land they actually operated. Contract producers who produced crops, poultry, or livestock for 

others under contract were to report the estimated cost of all 

items furnished by the contractor. These items were asked on 

a sample basis. Further explanation and sample reliability can 

be found in appendix A in volume 1. 

HIRED FARM LABOR 

The number of hired farm workers includes all persons hired 

to do farm or ranch labor for cash payments. This labor may 

include everyone from regular farmwork to record keeping 

necessary to the agricultural operation. Members of the farm 

operators' famil ies were included if they received cash payments. Workers working for contractors under contract to the 

farm operator, salaried corporation officers, unpaid family 

members, and persons employed by a labor contractor were 

excluded. Operators of hired machines were excluded if their 

pay was included in the cost of the customwork. 

Considerable duplication exists in the count of hired workers 

reported working 149 days or less. Many are seasonal workers in 

vegetable and fruit producing areas. In the census statistics, the 

same workers may be counted several times as they move from 

farm to farm. These items were asked on a sample basis. Further 

explanation and sample reliability can be found in appendix A 

in volume 1. 

MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT ON PLACE 

Farm operators estimated the market value of all machinery 

and equipment usually kept on the farm and used for the farm 

business. The reported value represents an estimate of how 

much the machinery and equipment would sell for in its present 

condition, not the replacement cost or the depreciated value. 

Inventory of selected items of farm equipment includes 

only the equipment owned, leased, rented, or temporarily 

borrowed from others that was on the farm on December 31, 

1982, and that was used for the farm business in 1981 or 1982. 

These items were asked on a sample basis. Further explanation 

and sample reliability can be found in appendix A in volume 1. 

AGRICULTURAL CHEMICALS USED 

Fertilizer-Data on acreage fertilized were collected for harvested cropland and for cropland pasture and other pastureland. 

When the same crop was fertilized two or more times, the 

acreage was to be reported only once. If two different crops or 

two different plantings of the same crop were harvested in 

1982 from the same acreage, the acreage of each crop or planting fertilized was to be reported only once. 

Lime-Data include acreage limed and tonnage of lime and 

liming materials applied to the soil in 1982. Gypsum, landplaster, and lime used for spraying or sanitation purposes are 

excluded. 

Other agricultural chemicals-Data include the cost of insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, nematicides, and other pesticides and chemicals used on the farm in 1982. This data 

excludes the cost of application. 

Acres treated more than one time with the same chemical 

is included only once. However, the cost of all the materials 

AGRICULTURE-SUBJECT SERIES 
applied was to be reported. When multipurpose chemicals 

were used, the acreage treated for each purpose was included. 

These items were asked on a sample basis. Further explanation 

can be found in appendix A in volume 1. 

ENERGY EXPENSES 

Farm operators were instructed to report the cost of major 

types of energy and petroleum products used for the farm 

business. This was the second census where electricity expenses 

were obtained as a separate item. These items were asked on 

a sample basis. Further explanation and sample reliability can 

be found in appendix A in volume 1. 

LIVESTOCK AND POULTRY-INVENTORY AND 

SALES 

Inventory-Livestock and poultry inventories are reported as of 

December 31, 1982. These include all animals kept on the place 

regardless of ownership, including livestock or poultry being 

custom fed or fed on contract for others. 

Sales-Livestock and poultry sold incude all animals sold or 

removed from the place during the year regardless of ownership. 

Those sold for a landlord or given to others in trade or in payment for goods and services as well as those custom fed for 

others were to be included. Animals bought and sold within 

a 30-day period were to be excluded. 

The value of livestock and poultry sold represents the gross 

sales value before deducting any marketing or production costs. 

For livestock or poultry fed under contract for others, the 

estimated market value is at the time they were taken from 

the place. 

CROPS 

In 1982, sales of crops including nursery products and hay 

amounted to $62.3 billion which accounted for 47.2 percent 

of the value of all agricultural products sold. 

Crops harvested-In 1982, nearly all of the acres reported for 

individual crops represent acres harvested except for a small 

part of the acreage of corn, sorghum, peanuts, soybeans, and 

cow peas counted as harvested that was hogged or grazed when 

the crop was mature or almost mature. Since more than one 

crop may have been harvested from the same land during the 

same crop year, the sum of acres of all crops harvested exceeds 

the acreage of land from which crops were harvested. 

Acreages of wheat, soybeans, and sunflower seeds increased 

significantly between 1978 and 1982. This increased acreage 

is reflected in decreases in other crops, especially hay, cotton, 

and other small grains. 

Vegetables harvested for sale-The individual acres of each kind 

of vegetable harvested were reported as well as the acreage of 

land from which vegetables were harvested. 

Berries, fruits, and nuts-In 1982, data for individual berries, 

fruits, and nuts were collected. Also, the total land in bearing 

and nonbearing fruit orchards, citrus or other groves, vineyards, 

and nut trees was reported.

HOW THE MAPS WERE MADE 

Computer graphics techniques and technology were used in 

producing the maps in this report. The resultant mapping 

system was developed to meet an increasing demand for the 

rapid and economic production of maps of publication quality. 

The multicolor choropleth maps and the dots maps are the 

products of an automated statistical mapping system developed 

at the Bureau of the Census. This mapping system generated a 

computer tape of commands that directed a plotter to draw 

maps on 310mm paper or film at publication size. The plotting 

device was a Computer Output on Microfilm (COM) unit 

capable of plotting a map in a few minutes. The production 

of maps on film at publication size reduces costs in both labor 

and materials. 

The text on the maps was entirely computer-generated. The 

relative positions were determined for each of the map types. 

Minor adjustments to the text positions, such as centering, 

were calculated by the computer program. The final positions 

and the text itself were transmitted to the computer tape for 

plotting. Also, fonts and sizes were determined by the computer 

program. This method of text placement was more time-efficient than the previous manual method. 

Choropleth Maps 

The choropleth maps showing county classifications were 

prepared by a computer program that automatically created 

color separations for the map image on film. Each separation, 

or frame, showed all the counties falling within one of the data 

class intervals, except for the frame containing the map neatline, 

base map linework and text. Thus, a map showing data in five 

classes would have six frames of map imagery. This procedure 

is directly analogous to manual procedures employed by cartographers when preparing color choropleth maps. However, 

the maps produced by the computer are created very quickly 

with little manual input and also are of high quality. 

The choropleth mapping system required several computer 

files as input. One file (provided by the Census Bureau's Agriculture Division) contained the agricultu ral data by county, 

each county identified by its Federal Information Processing 

Standards (FIPS) code. Three files were combined to plot the 

base map linework. The linework used latitude-longitude 

coordinates from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's 

Oak Ridge National Laboratories Coordinate File for the 

coastline and coordinates from the Census Bureau's County 

Boundary File for State and county boundaries for all States, 

except Alaska. The coordinates for Alaska were on a separate 

file. This combined boundary file was used to produce the 

area fill pattern for the counties on the color separates. The fill 

pattern, known as "scan" lines, consisted of overlapping horizontal lines to fill the area within a county's boundaries. These 

scan lines were also identified by FIPS codes in the file. 

The scan line file was processed in conjunction with the 

agricultural data file to produce county maps with specified 

data intervals. By matching F IPS codes on both files, data 

for each county were properly classed and portrayed on the 

proper map separation. The resulting computer plot tape 

directed the COM unit to output the class separations on 

310mm film. 

The class separations were screened and composited in 

negative form. The printer was given three composite negatives 

for each choropleth map, corresponding to the red, yellow, 

and black inks used in the printing. 

EXPLANATION OF MAPPED DATA XVII 
Dot Maps 

The dot maps were prepared by a computer program that 

produced one frame containing the neatline, base map line 

work, text, and automatically placed dots according to data-todot ratio for each map. However, the increase-decrease dot 

maps had two frames-one contained the increase information 

and one contained the decrease information. The program employed a 1.5-level land-use filter in conjunction with the scan 

line file used in choropleth map production to control the placement of dots within the counties. The maps were plotted by the 

COM unit directly on 310mm paper or, for increase-decrease 

maps, on 310mm film. 

The dot mapping program used two features of a previous 

dot mapping system developed for the Census Bureau by the 

Cartographic Laboratory at the University of Wisconsin, 

Madison, WI. These features were the land-use filter and the 

distribution of dots by a weighting factor. The land-use filter 

is a file of approximately one-half million cells (each cell being 

approximately 5 miles x 5 miles) covering the entire conterXVIII EXPLANATION OF MAPPED DATA 

minous United States. The land-use filter was prepared from the 

land-use map that was published in The National Atlas of the 

United States of America 2• Although no filter exists for Alaska 

or Hawaii, equivalent land-use data were compiled to produce 

dot maps for these States. The placement of dots within specific 

land-use categories in a county was controlled by probabilities 

based on a weighting algorithm using the data as input. 

The Census Bureau's dot mapping program converted the 

land-use filter into scan lines by county. The program for dot 

placement computed the number of dots to be placed in a 

county, determined the land-uses for that county and placed 

the proper number of dots within the appropriate land-use 

areas in the county. The algorithm ensures that all dots fall 

within the proper county. As was done for the choropleth 

maps, a computer tape was made to be sent to the COM unit 

for 'plotting.
