is the longest field name a shapefile can store, so longer KML attribute names are cut when you convert

Questions
Converted map file and print map: what people ask
Why did my field names get cut off?
Shapefiles don't allow field names longer than 10 characters. They also can't store null values, round numbers and handle Unicode text poorly, so converting from KML or GeoJSON can shorten names and change some values.
Is there a size limit for shapefiles?
Yes. Each component file of a shapefile is limited to 2 GB, which works out to roughly 70 million point features. Lines and polygons hit the limit sooner, depending on how many vertices they have.
Can I use old USGS topo maps in GIS?
Yes. USGS georeferences its scanned historical topo maps so they can be overlaid with other geospatial data. They are delivered as GeoPDF files today, with formats such as GeoTIFF planned.
