Digital Line Graphs (DLG) ? Vector (line) data that includes roads, streets,
boundaries (cities, counties, state), elevation contours, rivers and
streams, railroads, etc. The data is in 1:100,000 scale (complete for the
entire state) and 1:24,000 scale formats (some layers are incomplete for
statewide data; transportation is complete at 1:24,000).

Counties in the United States
By my count there are 3128 Counties, Parishes or Independent Cities in the
USA. There are a few oddities to be considered:


TIGER (Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing system):
http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/index.html
What is TIGER data
The TIGER/Line files are a digital database of geographic features, such as
roads, railroads, rivers, lakes, legal boundaries, census statistical
boundaries, etc. covering the entire United States. The data base contains
information about these features such as their location in latitude and
longitude, the name, the type of feature, address ranges for most streets,
the geographic relationship to other features, and other related
information. They are the public product created from the Census Bureau's
TIGER database.
