Data U.S. Time Zone Boundaries DESCRIPTION 
Time Zones, and their boundary lines, are established by Federal statute. While most of the time zone division lines fall on county boundaries, a number do not... the exceptions fall along township and section boundaries as defined by the Public Land Survey System. It is also true that the beginning and ending dates for the observance of Daylight Savings Time are standardly established by statute... but certain states and certain counties decline to observe Daylight Savings Time. This mapped table records each county of the U.S. and, where a county is split by a time zone boundary, each part of that county separately. For each of these, the table records the Time Zone and whether Daylight Savings Time is observed.USAGE Time Zone and Daylight Savings information is useful to those who must contact people or businesses in diverse locations and who need to know what the time is in the location to be reached. SPECIFICATIONS The US Time Zones database consists of a single mapped table, using NAD83 latitude/longitude coordinates.
