April 2026 .. A University of Missouri initiative, Warren Glimpse and a colleague started development of what would become the Columbia (Boone County). MO (Geographic Base File/Dual Independent Map Encoding File) GBF/DIME in 1972. Later it would become the prototype for the Census Bureau Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (TIGER) System. See more about the Columbia, MO MSA in context of all Core-Based Statistical Areas (Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Areas) Columbia, MO, wholly contained in Boone County, has grown in population from 58,521 in 1970 to 132,046 in 2025. The land area of Columbia city increased from 17.9 SQMI in 1970 to 67.17 SQMI in 2025. Boone County has grown in population from 80,911 in 1970 to 191,746 in 2025. Boone County was a single county MSA in 1970 and a part of a three county (Boone, Cooper and Howard) MSA in 2025. See interactive map below. More than 50 years ago ... Staff from the Census Bureau in Suitland, MD came to the University of Missouri in Columbia to provide training on the process. Parts of a wall map sent to us by the Census Bureau. We built an even larger wall map maybe 7’x7’ or larger. Street intersections were designated by orange dots that were placed/rubbed onto a mylar map. Each dot was maybe 1/8 inch, in reality each dot was roughly 40 feet in diameter. Dots were applied to all of Columbia city and Boone County. Those maps were sent back to Census and the orange dots were digitized and became latitude-longitude. At the time the University of Missouri bureau of business and economic research was also a part of the DUALabs START community and the largest Summary Tape Processing Center (STPC).
