Actually, this is from the file I noted, the nwsc_ddmmyy.dbfawk: 

# name: name is just the county name.
/^COUNTYNAME=(.*)$/ {name="$1"; font_size=4; next}
# also append "County" to the name except for Louisiana, use Parish
# (is this the only state that calls them something other than county?):
# XXX check this whole LA thing.  I think they call them parishes.
/^STATE=(LA)$/ {name="$name Parish"; key="$1"; next}
/^STATE=(..)$/ {name="$name County"; key="$1"; next}
/^FIPS=..(...)$/ {key="$(key)_C$1"; next}

...

I'll see what I can figure out. 

Thanks!
