There are 38 independent cities and 95 counties in the state. The city layer in Virginia should be drawn from the 2010 Census Maps, adding only independent cities, towns and census designated places. Additionally, city layer names should only be added to segments inside of the city/town/CDP boundary.

There are 38 independent cities and 95 counties in the state. The city layer in Virginia should be drawn from the 2010 Census Maps, adding only independent cities, towns and census designated places. Additionally, city layer names should only be added to segments inside of the city/town/CDP boundary. However, due to the highly urban nature of some areas, other names will be allowed to be added to the map as discussed in the forum topic What to put in city field, and how to determine?. This topic contains a list of names approved for the city layer; other names should not be added or removed without posting to the forum or asking a state manager.
