If you want U.S.A. counties for the 1980 census, go to
www.geolytics.com. They have boundary files on CD-ROM down to the
Census Tract level, exportable in .mif/.mid or shapefile format. The
boundary files are a little different than usual; they display water
bodies within all the polygons (these aren't a separate layer).
Counties are labeled only with the FIPS code (Federal Information
Processing System), not with county name, but you could get this info
from another table.
Of course, US counties changed little from 1980 to 1990 (I think La
Paz county in AZ was formed, and a few extra independent cities in
Virginia). (When did they completely re-do the British Counties?).
