- Abstract The Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) actively seeks data from and partnerships with Government agencies at all levels
and other interested organizations. The 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.
- Purpose The Geographic Names Information System contains information about physical and cultural geographic features of all types
in the United States, associated areas, and Antarctica, current and historical, but not including roads and highways. The
database holds the Federally recognized name of each feature and defines the feature location by state, county, USGS topographic
map, and geographic coordinates. Other attributes include names or spellings other than the official name, feature designations,
feature classification, historical and descriptive information, and for some categories the geometric boundaries. The database
assigns a unique, permanent feature identifier, the Feature ID, as a standard Federal key for accessing, integrating, or reconciling
feature data from multiple data sets. The GNIS collects data from a broad program of partnerships with Federal, State, and
local government agencies and other authorized contributors. The GNIS provides data to all levels of government and to the
public, as well as to numerous applications through a web query site, web map and feature services, file download services,
and customized files upon request.
- Supplemental Information The U.S. Board on Geographic Names was created in 1890 and established in its present form by Public Law in 1947 to establish
and maintain uniform geographic name usage throughout the Federal Government. The Board serves all government agencies and
the public as the central authority to which name inquiries, name issues, and new name proposals can be directed. It is comprised
of representatives of Federal agencies associated with land management and cartography. Sharing its responsibilities with
the Secretary of the Interior, the Board develops principles, policies, and procedures governing the use of both domestic
and foreign geographic names as well as undersea and Antarctic feature names.

Data Quality Information
- Attribute Accuracy Report
-
- Report During Phase I data compilation, a random sample of 10% of the entries in the system were visually verified against the compilation
source data (large-scale USGS topographic maps) to ensure an accuracy rate of at least 95%. Subsequent data compilation and
input processes ensure accuracy with programmed validation checks for format and content, visual examination, and spot checks
of data.
- Quantitative Attribute Accuracy Assessment
-
- Attribute Accuracy Value
- Attribute Accuracy Explanation
- Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report
-
- Report Accuracy of these digital data is based upon the use of printed or electronic source graphics which are compiled to meet National
Map Accuracy Standards. Comparison to the graphic source is used as control to assess digital positional accuracy.

- Logical Consistency Report During Phase I data compilation, a random sample of 10% of the entries in the system were visually verified against the compilation
source data (large-scale USGS topographic maps) to ensure logical consistency of locative references (geographic coordinates,
topographic map, and county. Subsequent data compilation and input processes include programmed validation checks for logical
consistency, visual examination, and spot checks of data.
- Completeness Report This dataset contains information about United States physical and cultural geographic features of all types and classes,
with the exception of most roads and highways. Subsequent to the original data compilation process, which was taken primarily
from Federal maps, the GNIS has become dependent on input from Federal, State, county, and local government agencies and other
approved sources. The completeness, currency, and accuracy of the data varies by area depending on the quality and timeliness
of that input. Accordingly, the Geographic Names Project actively seeks to expand partnerships with Government agencies at
all levels and other interested organizations. The latest tools and methodologies are being applied, including web map and
feature services, and joint or linked web applications, to ensure that local data are properly represented in the GNIS and
through the GNIS to all Federal agencies and to the public. Feature additions or corrections are accepted for consideration
from any source, and when validated by appropriate agencies, will be entered into the database. Local and State agencies are
encouraged to submit data and to participate in the GNIS partnership program. Non-government organizations with valuable data
are considered on a case basis. Authorized partners have access to web based transaction entry and edit forms, which submit
data directly to the GNIS for review and inclusion in the database. Partners also submit batch files in most standard formats,
and coordinate with the Geographic Names Project to develop joint services, processes, and applications for greatest efficiency.
Data entered into the GNIS immediately is available to all web services and applications dependent on it. For additional information
or to request user accounts for entry and edit of production data and web seminar training, contact gnis_manager@usgs.gov.

- Attribute Definition A feature class is a designation for a group of features in a broadly defined descriptive category. All features are assigned
to one and only one class. They do not individually classify all kinds of cultural and natural features. By design, there
are no Federal or industry standards or guidelines for feature classification. These classifications originally were developed
for mainframe file structure search purposes. Although the terms are generally consistent with dictionary definitions, they
may not conform exactly and are not always intuitive.

- Attribute Definition The State or States or State equivalents containing the geographic feature. This dataset contains features in States of the
United States, the District of Columbia, territories, outlying areas of the United States, and associated areas. This is relational
data, not spatial data. The data owner specifies the value(s) associated with each geographic feature. Values are represented
by state name, state numeric code, and state alpha code. The primary State is the State containing the primary point and is
assigned sequence number one. Secondary States are those other than the primary State containing the feature and are sequenced
according to guidelines of the Board on Geographic Names, consistent with the primary and secondary counties containing the
feature. For linear features (streams, valleys, arroyos) the sequencing is from mouth toward source. Secondary States are
displayed in the GNIS public web query site but currently are not available from the GNIS web map service, XML service, or
downloadable files. Customized data files will be provide upon request. This data may be particularly helpful for features
having no known, recognized, standard, or available boundary data.

- Attribute Label COUNTY_NAM
- Attribute Definition The county or counties or county equivalents containing the geographic feature. This dataset contains features in counties
or county equivalents of the States of the United States, the District of Columbia, territories, outlying areas of the United
States, and associated areas. This is relational data, not spatial data. The data owner specifies the value(s) associated
with each geographic feature. Values are represented by county name and county numeric code. The primary county is the county
containing the primary point and is assigned sequence number one. Secondary counties are those other than the primary county
containing the feature and are sequenced according to guidelines of the Board on Geographic Names. For linear features (streams,
valleys, arroyos) the sequencing is from mouth toward source. Secondary counties are displayed in the GNIS public web query
site but currently are not available from the GNIS web map service, XML service, or downloadable files. Customized data files
will be provide upon request. This data applies particularly to features for which there is no known, recognized, standard,
or available boundary data.
