Census Counties (Pennsylvania)
Pennsylvania's 67 counties as the Census Bureau draws them, with each county's land and water area and the freight region it belongs to in the Commodity Flow Survey (CFS), the Bureau's survey of goods shipped by businesses. The freight regions are the ones the Freight Analysis Framework's flows are reported for, so this is how a county is placed in those flows, and it is a reliable county outline and name list for mapping or summarizing anything else by county.
