The Geographic Names\nInformation System (GNIS) is the Federal standard for geographic nomenclature.\nThe U.S. Geological Survey developed the GNIS for the U.S. Board on Geographic\nNames, a Federal inter-agency body chartered by public law to maintain uniform\nfeature name usage throughout the Government and to promulgate standard names\nto the public. The GNIS is the official repository of domestic geographic names\ndata; the official vehicle for geographic names use by all departments of the\nFederal Government; and the source for applying geographic names to Federal\nelectronic and printed products of all types.
