Format

A SpatialPolygonsDataFrame containing 23 polygons whose union outline boundaries of the state of Wyoming. Source shapefile was from the Census Bureau in 2015; but, that shapefile has been taken down. A secondary source of the Wyoming counties shapefile, with different attributes, is here: https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=65b84d3d0c59441596c900d24196d4fd

Attributes of the polygons are:

  1. STATEFP = State identifier (56 = Wyoming)

  2. COUNTYFP = Unique identifier for county

  3. NAME = Name of the county

The proj4string is "+init=epsg:26912} \code{+proj=utm} \code{+zone=12} \code{+datum=NAD83} \code{+units=m} \code{+no_defs} \code{+ellps=GRS80} \code{+towgs84=0,0,0", meaning among other things that the coordinates are projected zone 12 UTM's in meters.

The rectangular bounding box of all polygons is

min max
x 495506 1084419
y 4538294 5006162
