Resource Abstract:
- description: The Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) is the Federal standard for geographic nomenclature. The U.S.
Geological Survey developed the GNIS for the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, a Federal inter-agency body chartered by public
law to maintain uniform feature name usage throughout the Government and to promulgate standard names to the public. The GNIS
is the official repository of domestic geographic names data; the official vehicle for geographic names use by all departments
of the Federal Government; and the source for applying geographic names to Federal electronic and printed products of all
types. See http://geonames.usgs.gov for additional information.; abstract: The Geographic Names Information System (GNIS)
