To Download: Hold down the Shift key and left-click on each link to save locally.

Once Downloaded: Each Shapefile .exe file contains all the necessary components for the shapefile format (.dbf, .shx, .shp files, etc.) for each polygon or point feature class, plus FGDC-compliant metadata in xml format and an ArcGIS 9.0/9.1 layer file. Once downloaded, extract the files by double-clicking on the .exe file name in Windows Explorer or by entering the name at the DOS Command Prompt and hitting return. The StuffIt software (for Windows or Macintosh) or the Unix  and Linux command "unzip" can also be used to extract the data from the .exe files.
