      <abstract>These polygons were used to estimate the population figures shown in the Montana Towns layer. Where towns correspond exactly to incorporated or Census Designated places, the boundaries were copied from the 2010 Places layer from the Census Bureau. Most other polygons represent 2-mile-diameter circles centered on the towns. Where such a circle would intersect other towns, 2-kilometer circles or manually-drawn regions are used. Some of the manually-draw regions are Census Designated Places that have been revised to show different interpretations of what the areas of the town are. The Towns_ID is the link between this layer and the records in the Montana Towns layer. The Montana Towns layer has fields that describe the derivation of the areas.</abstract>
