Resource Abstract:
- 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.
