The dataset contains records for named geographic features located in the United States,its Territories and Outlying Areas.
The records are organized by State (or Stateequivalent). Each record includes: the official name of the feature; the feature
type; thecounty(s) in which the feature is located; the name(s) of the USGS 1:24,000-scaletopographic map(s) on which the
feature is shown; geographic coordinates locating themouth of linear features and the approximate center of areal features,
and coordinateslocating the feature on each additional (if any) USGS 1:24,000-scale map on which thefeature is shown; a bibliographic
code referring to the source of information for eachrecord, and other names by which the feature may be or may have been known.
Somerecords include information about the history of the feature or the origin of the featurename. Entity_and_Attribute_Detail_Citation:

purpose:
To promote geographic feature name standardization and to serve as the FederalGovernment's repository of information regarding
feature name spellings andapplications for features in U.S. The names listed in the inventory can be publishedon Federal maps,
charts, and in other documents. The feature locative information hasbeen used in emergency preparedness, marketing, site-selection
and analysis,genealogical and historical research, and transportation routing applications.
