I am looking to map (US) Metropolitan Statistical Areas, but do not have a source for the Spatial Data needed to do this. Can somebody point me to a public data source?

openstreetmap.org and census.gov may be helpful. – Jul 06 '17 at 04:26

Apologies, maybe the request was unclear - I am looking for geographical information for each defined MSA to allow me to create a graphic. Eg, for a given MSA, instructions to draw the (approximate) shape on the map. – GPB Jul 06 '17 at 14:06

I think both my references provide polygonal data -- census.gov should provide polygonal data that comprises a given MSA, since I think they're the ones who define MSAs. Or am I still missing something? – Jul 06 '17 at 14:28

Indeed, it is on census.gov. My bad. Apologies, and thanks! – GPB Jul 06 '17 at 14:33

Response from @Barry Carter solved my question:

Tnx, Barry!
