How to import spatial data files in SF?
The short report printed gives the file name, mentions that there are 77 features (records, represented as rows) and 10 fields (attributes, represented as columns), states that the spatial data file is a MULTIPOLYGON, provides the bounding box coordinates, and identifies the projection method (which we will discuss later).
How are simple features represented in a SF object?
Manipulating Simple Features This vignette describes how simple features, i.e. records that come with a geometry, can be manipulated, for the case where these manipulations involve geometries. Manipulations include: Features are represented by records in an sf object, and have feature attributes (all non-geometry fields) and feature geometry.
How to create a sfpoint object in R?
In addition, we need to create a sfPoint object with the Philadelphia city center coordinates: \\[x = 1750160\\]\\[y = 467499.9\\] These coordinates are in the USA Contiguous Albers Equal Area Conicprojected CRS and the EPSG code is 102003.
How to import and import spatial data files?

I have tried calling to_file () on GeoDataFrames constructed from various sources and datasets and the coordinate system information was never present in the output dataset. Has anyone run into this issue before?
