- Abstract:
-
This dataset contains information about physical and cultural geographic features of all types, 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.
- Purpose:
-
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 as 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.
The GNIS 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.
- 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.

A note about data scale:
Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets
are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes.
Please be sure you are using the best available data.
1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
county level.
1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such
as property parcel boundaries.
1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
multi-county or regional level.
1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
regional or state level or larger.
Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be
considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data
before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been
made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional
information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact
section of this documentation. For more information regarding
scale and accuracy, see our webpage at:

Data was downloaded from the United States
Geological Survey: U.S. Board on Geographic
Names website in text format to GeoPlan in September
2009. The original data extent was limited to the State of
Florida. GeoPlan, during the QA/QC process included
the following aspects:
(1) The original dataset name was FL_Features_20090803.txt
(2) The text file was converted to .DBF format. Field names longer than 10 characters were truncated.
(3) The .DBF file was then converted to a shapefile using the Add XY tool in ArcMap.
(4) The original points were recorded in NAD83. GeoPlan projected the entire dataset
to FGDL Albers.
(5) Removed 187 points from the dataset due to missing spatial information.
(6) Removed an additional 57 points which did not have a STATE_NUME OF 12.
(7) Upcased all fields.
(8) Added the FGDLAQDATE field.
(9) Added DESCRIPT item based on FEATURE_NA.

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data
compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from
the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is
collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources)
who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in
FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the
data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees
about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check
with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.
Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'.
The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties
or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data
provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability
of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited
to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular
purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using,
modifying, contributing or distributing the materials.
A note about data scale:
Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets
are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes.
Please be sure you are using the best available data.
1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
county level.
1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such
as property parcel boundaries.
1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
multi-county or regional level.
1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
regional or state level or larger.
Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be
considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data
before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been
made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional
information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact
section of this documentation. For more information regarding
scale and accuracy, see our webpage at:
