Choosing MAIAC VIIRS tiles to cover a region

Similar to my previous question about MODIS ( viewtopic.php?p=13437 ), I want to find the tile identifiers for VJ119A2 and VNP19A2 to cover a region of interest, such as the contiguous United States. The tile structure is depicted visually in Figure 1b of the user guide ( https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/documents/2268/VNP19_User_Guide_V1.pdf ), but is there a geometry file for it?

Hello,
The LPDAAC does not have spatial geometry files, however I believe this USGS site may be able to help, it looks like they have .shp files available for CONUS, Alaska, and Australia: https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/item/623a013ed34e915b67cddcfa
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Brett
