U.S. Geological Survey 20201101 vector digital data Reston, VA U.S. Geological Survey State of Florida https://www.usgs.gov/core-science-systems/ngp/board-on-geographic-names/download-gnis-data 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. This is an update to the gnis_dec17 layer. 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. 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. 19740101 20201101 publication date Complete As needed -87.597390 -79.048841 31.035496 24.379176 None Place name economy Feature description environment location transportation Geographical name Feature class Official feature name Geographic feature utilitiesCommunication society Variant name Feature designation imageryBaseMapsEarthCover Feature identification Feature name inlandWaters Geographical feature Feature history Feature county Geographic name structure Feature coordinates Feature state ISO 19115 Topic Categories imageryBaseMapsEarthCover inlandWaters utilitiesCommunication location society economy environment transportation structure Geographic Names Information System, USGS, Reston, VA District United States Territory Outlying Area County Topographic Map Antarctica Census Area Borough Populated Place State Commonwealth Parish Municipio None Current Historical None None.

Reston Virginia 20192 703 648 4552 gnis_manager@usgs.gov Monday through Friday 0730-1700 Eastern Time The Geographic Names Information System was developed by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the U.S. Board on Geographic Names. Version 6.2 (Build 9200) ; Esri ArcGIS 10.7.1.11595 U.S. Geological Survey unknown The National Atlas summarizes national-scale geographical information and delivers easy to use, map-like views of America's natural and sociocultural landscapes. This digital version revises a large bound collection of paper maps that was published in 1970. The Atlas serves a diverse populace as an essential reference, a framework for information discovery, an instrument of education, an aid in research, and a reliable source of government information. It includes stimulating products and services for children and adults to understand complex relationships among environments, places, and people. It contributes to our knowledge of the environmental, resource, demographic, economic, social, political, and historical dimensions of American life. Though it cannot display detailed map information, the Atlas directs users to other sources for this information. The GNIS provides geographic feature, location, and attribute data to the National Atlas. - http://nationalatlas.gov/ National Geospatial Agency (NGA) unknown The GEOnet Names Server (GNS) provides access to the National Geospatial Agency (NGA) database of foreign geographic feature names. The database is the official repository of foreign place-name decisions approved by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names (US BGN). Approximately 20,000 of the database's features are updated monthly. - http://earth-info.nga.mil/gns/html/ U.S. Geological Survey unknown The National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) is a comprehensive set of digital spatial data that contains information about surface water features such as lakes, ponds, streams, rivers, springs and wells. Within the NHD, surface water features are combined to form "reaches," which provide the framework for linking water-related data to the NHD surface water drainage network. These linkages enable the analysis and display of these water-related data in upstream and downstream order. The GNIS provides geographic feature name data to the National Hydrography Dataset. - http://nhd.usgs.gov/ U.S. Census Bureau unknown LandView is a desktop mapping system that searches and maps selected information from the Environmental Protection Agency, the Census Bureau, and the U.S. Geological Survey. LandView contains a large subset of GNIS feature, location, and attribute data for the United States. It is available on DVD. See the LandView web site for information concerning the latest edition and ordering. http://landview.census.gov/ U.S. Geological Survey unknown The National Map, is a seamless, continuously maintained set of public domain geographic base information that serves as a foundation for integrating, sharing, and using other data easily and consistently. The National Map viewer is a Web-enabled portal to all of the geospatial information contained in The National Map. This portal not only supports on-line access to the geospatial information, but also allows the download of digital data and creation of cartographic products. The GNIS supports The National Map as the source for the gazetteer search in Find Place function of The National Map viewer and as active names layers. - http://nationalmap.gov/ U.S. Geological Survey unknown Geodata.gov is a geographic information system (GIS) portal, also known as the Geospatial One-Stop (GOS) that serves as a public gateway for improving access to geospatial information and data under the Geospatial One-Stop E-Government initiative. Geospatial One-Stop is one of 24 E-Government initiatives sponsored by the Federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to enhance government efficiency and to improve citizen services. See the Geographic Names community in geodata.gov. - http://gos2.geodata.gov/ GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data. GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the original data. GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the original data. 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. 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. This data is provided 'as is' and its vertical positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan. 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. GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the original data. This data is provided 'as is' and its vertical positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan. U.S. Forest Service The State Names Authorities National Ocean Service (NOS) Public Other Federal, state and local agencies Council of Geographic Names Authorities (COGNA) National Park Service (NPS) unknown Since the original data compilation was completed from the original sources, GNIS accepts data or data changes for consideration from any source, and upon validation by the Board on Geographic Names or the appropriate Federal or state agency, will enter the data into the database. The GNIS has an active data gathering and maintenance program. A web-based data entry and edit application allows authorized users to submit transaction data directly for validation and entry into the database, where it immediately becomes available to all web services and applications. A test and demonstration site with no connection to production data is available for review, training, and familiarization. Batch files will be accepted in most standard formats.

Reston Virginia 20192 703 648 4552 gnis_manager@usgs.gov Monday through Friday 0730-1700 Eastern Time GeoPlan downloaded the data on December 1, 2020 from the United States Geological Survey at https://www.usgs.gov/core-science-systems/ngp/board-on-geographic-names/download-gnis-data in text format. Metadata was imported from https://www.usgs.gov/core-science-systems/ngp/board-on-geographic-names/download-gnis-data. The original data extent was limited to the State of Florida. NOTE: This layer must be created in a file geodatabase as to keep correct field length. Please create a geodatabase before working on this layer. Geoplan completed the following process steps during QA/QC: - Modified original text file in a text editor to change delimiters to commas - Saved as a .csv and then exported into file geodatabase as a geodatabase table - Created an XY event layer from fields "PRIM_LONG_DEC" and "PRIM_LAT_DEC" - Selected NAD_83 as source projection - Exported event layer to file geodatabase feature class - Deleted all points with no spatial extent and points not within the extent of Florida (232 points). - Projected to Albers using NAD_83_to_HARN_Florida transformation - Uppercased all fields - Added field DESCRIPT based on FEATURE_NAME - Added field FGDLAQDATE based on date downloaded from source - Restructured table - Added fields LAT_DD, LONG_DD, MGRS, and GOOGLEMAP. LAT_DD and LONG_DD were calculated using the calculate geometry command and selecting decimal degrees as the units. MGRS was calculated using the Convert Coordinate Notation tool and selecting Output coordinate Format as MGRS. The GOOGLEMAP field was calculated by concatenating: "https://www.google.com/maps/place/" & [MGRS].

Esri Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated. Shape Feature geometry. ESRI Coordinates defining the features. FEATURE_ID A permanent, unique number assigned to a geographic feature for the sole purpose of uniquely identifying that feature as a record in any information system database, dataset, file, or document and for distinguishing it from all other feature records so identified. The number is assigned sequentially (highest existing number plus one) to new records as they are created in the Geographic Names Information System. The number, by design, carries no information or association to the content of the feature record and therefore is not subject to change as attribute values change. Once assigned to a feature, the number is never changed or withdrawn, and never reassigned. The Feature ID can be applied in conjunction with system-unique record identifiers in any database or system, thus providing a national standard common reference identifier across multiple datasets. The Feature ID is stored in the GNIS database as an integer with a maximum of ten digits. USGS FEATURE_NAME A geographic feature name and its written form and application approved or recognized as official by the United States Board on Geographic Names for use throughout the Federal Government. The official name is established either by policy or by decision of the Board on Geographic Names. It is the proper name, specific term, or expression by which a particular geographic entity is, or was, known. A geographic feature may have only one official name, which must be the name applied to the feature on all Federal products, electronic or printed. USGS FEATURE_CLASS 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. USGS STATE_ALPHA The unique two letter alphabetic state code containing the geographic feature as specified by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Codes. Note: Some feature records in State files will display State Alpha and Number Codes for a State other than that requested. This is not an error. It indicates that the primary coordinates for the feature reside in another State, but that the feature crosses into and is included in the specified State. This also means that the feature record is included in both State files. USGS STATE_NUMERIC The unique numeric state code containing the geographic feature as specified by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Codes. Note: Some feature records in State files will display State Alpha and Number Codes for a State other than that requested. This is not an error. It indicates that the primary coordinates for the feature reside in another State, but that the feature crosses into and is included in the specified State. This also means that the feature record is included in both State files. USGS COUNTY_NAME The name for the county or county eqivalent containing the geographic feature. USGS COUNTY_NUMERIC The unique three number code for the county or county equivalent containing the geographic feature as specified in the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Codes. USGS PRIMARY_LAT_DMS Official feature latitude location, NAD 83 DMS-degrees/minutes/seconds. USGS PRIM_LONG_DMS Official feature longitude location, NAD 83 DMS-degrees/minutes/seconds. USGS PRIMARY_LAT_DMS_D Undefined by Source GeoPlan PRIM_LONG_DMS_D Undefined by Source GeoPlan PRIM_LAT_DEC Official feature latitude location, NAD 83 DEC-decimal degrees. USGS PRIM_LONG_DEC Official feature longitude location, NAD 83 DEC-decimal degrees. USGS SOURCE_LAT_DMS Source latitude coordinates of linear feature only (Class = Stream, Valley, Arroyo), NAD 83; DMS-degrees/minutes/seconds. USGS SOURCE_LONG_DMS Source longitude coordinates of linear feature only (Class = Stream, Valley, Arroyo), NAD 83; DMS-degrees/minutes/seconds. USGS SOURCE_LAT_DMS_D Undefined by Source GeoPlan SOURCE_LONG_DMS_D Undefined by Source GeoPlan SOURCE_LAT_DEC Source latitude coordinates of linear feature only (Class = Stream, Valley, Arroyo), NAD 83; DEC-decimal degrees. USGS SOURCE_LONG_DEC Source longitude coordinates of linear feature only (Class = Stream, Valley, Arroyo), NAD 83; DEC-decimal degrees. USGS ELEV_IN_M Elevation in meters: The elevation above sea level of the feature at the primary point (positive number) or depth of a feature at the lowest point below sea level (negative number). By default, elevations are provided in meters. For custom data extracts, elevations can be provided in either feet or meters depending on user requirements. Elevation figures are not official and do not represent precisely measured or surveyed values. The data are extracted from the National Elevation Dataset (http://ned.usgs.gov/) for the primary coordinates and may differ from elevations cited in other sources. The differences will be most evident for features such as summits where precision is of more concern and where the local relief (rate of change of elevation) may be more prominent. However, the elevation figures are within tolerances for the data for most points and sufficiently accurate for purposes of general information. USGS ELEV_IN_FT Elevation in feet: The elevation above sea level of the feature at the primary point (positive number) or depth of a feature at the lowest point below sea level (negative number). By default, elevations are provided in meters. For custom data extracts, elevations can be provided in either feet or meters depending on user requirements. Elevation figures are not official and do not represent precisely measured or surveyed values. The data are extracted from the National Elevation Dataset (http://ned.usgs.gov/) for the primary coordinates and may differ from elevations cited in other sources. The differences will be most evident for features such as summits where precision is of more concern and where the local relief (rate of change of elevation) may be more prominent. However, the elevation figures are within tolerances for the data for most points and sufficiently accurate for purposes of general information. USGS MAP_NAME The name of the standard USGS 7.5x7.5 minute quadrangle map(s) containing the representation of the feature USGS DATE_CREATED The date the geographic feature record was initially committed to the database and made available through GNIS products and services. USGS DATE_EDITED The date one or more attributes of an existing geographic feature record were last edited. The attributes edited are not specified. USGS LAT_DD Latitude in decimal degrees. GeoPlan LONG_DD Longitude in decimal degrees. GeoPlan MGRS Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) Coordinate of the Facility. The MGRS is the geocoordinate standard used by NATO militaries for locating points on the earth. The MGRS provides a means to represent any location on the surface of the Earth using an alphanumeric string. Hierarchical references are based on the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system. The MGRS is used for the entire earth. http://mgrs-data.org/ GeoPlan GOOGLEMAP Webpage hyperlink to location in Google Maps. GeoPlan DESCRIPT Based on FEATURE_NAME.

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'.

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: http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html. ASCII.
