Description: Boundaries of Wisconsin cities, villages and towns split at county boundaries, including federal and state codes. DATCP created then modified this layer on 3/28/2013, in coordination with DNR, from a feature class obtained from Wisconsin DOT on 8/2/2011. Specifically, DATCP and/or DNR corrected various missing or erroneous code values. DATCP updated this feature class again on 6/26/2013. Specific modifications include the addition of the Village of Harrison (Calumet and Outagamie Counties) created from part of the Town of Harrison, and geometry fixes to the boundaries of the Village of Gratiot and the City of Shullsburg (both in Lafayette County) based on errors discovered during a DATCP Agricultural Enterprise Area (AEA) petition review. DATCP based its 6/26/2013 fixes on data received from Calumet, Outagamie, and Lafayette County LIOs. In January 2014, DNR staff updated the MCD layer to reflect the 2013 annexation of a portion of Monroe County into the Village of Rockland in La Crosse County. The MCD layer was also updated to reflect a 2013 increase in the extent of the Village of Harrison in Calumet County.
