These data were compared to the records of the U.S. Board on Geographic Names. This phase is complete. GNIS Phase II data compilation and edit - Feature name and attribute data are collected from official state and local sources and other approved sources including historical maps and documents. This phase is not complete. GNIS Maintenance program - Federal and state maintenance cooperators submit new and corrected data in conjunction with their mapping and geographical information system data maintenance programs. 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 is available. Government agencies at all levels are encouraged to join this program. Other organizations and individuals will be considered on a case basis. Partnerships - the Geographic Names Project enters into partnerships with State names authorities and State and local GIS agencies to integrate name, location, and attribute data in the GNIS with State and local datasets. These partnerships utilize GIS and web technology to automate and simplify data maintenance, ensure data consistency, integrity, and accuracy, and meet the requirements of the Board on Geographic Names for national names standardization. Government agencies at all levels are encouraged to join this program. Other organizations and individuals will be considered on a case basis. withheld Not complete The following steps were performed by Esri: Downloaded the tabular file from the U.S. Geological Survey website. Converted the file (containing latitude and longitude coordinates) to a shapefile in ArcMap™. Re-projected Alaska and Hawaii to improve their alignment. Reselected out the nine GNIS data sets based on their class types. Removed features with incorrect coordinates and whose NAME contains the word 'Squaw'. Added the STCTYFIPS fields and populated them using source STATE and COUNTY fields. Adjusted the widths of the NAME fields. Converted the data sets to SDC. Created their ArcGIS® layer files (.lyr), projection files (.prj), and spatial indices. withheld ArcGIS® 10, ArcGIS® 9, ArcView® GIS 3 20100209 The geospatial part of this data set was calculated from latitude/longitude coordinates. The source data is based upon the use of printed or electronic source graphics which are compiled to meet National Map Accuracy Standards. The shapefile is converted to SDC (Smart Data Compression) format using tools in ArcGIS. The SDC data set is then imported into a file geodatabase to verify, validate, and if needed repair the geometry. After processing, the data set is checked for drawing display and number of records and file sizes compared with source materials. 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 Esri ArcGIS 10.2.1.3497 Data & Maps for ArcGIS® 2012 - World, Europe, and United States Populated Places 2012 20120301 20100209 ArcGIS Content Team Esri ArcGIS Content Team 380 New York Street Redlands California 92373-8100 info@esri.com us 909-793-2853 909-793-5953 United States Geological Survey Reston Virginia us 20120301 -176.660117 178.875454 71.385244 -14.361111 1 1974 20091002 -176.660117 178.875454 71.385244 -14.361111 1 U.S. Geographic Names Information System Populated Places represents the Federal standard for geographic nomenclature and contains information about the proper names and locations of physical and cultural geographic features located throughout the United States and its Territories.

GNIS Maintenance program - Federal and state maintenance cooperators submit new and corrected data in conjunction with their mapping and geographical information system data maintenance programs. 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 is available. Government agencies at all levels are encouraged to join this program. Other organizations and individuals will be considered on a case basis. Partnerships - the Geographic Names Project enters into partnerships with State names authorities and State and local GIS agencies to integrate name, location, and attribute data in the GNIS with State and local datasets. These partnerships utilize GIS and web technology to automate and simplify data maintenance, ensure data consistency, integrity, and accuracy, and meet the requirements of the Board on Geographic Names for national names standardization. Government agencies at all levels are encouraged to join this program. Other organizations and individuals will be considered on a case basis. Data sources produced in this process: USGS - GNIS Date: 20100209 (change 2 of 2) The following steps were performed by Esri: Downloaded the tabular file from the U.S. Geological Survey website. Converted the file (containing latitude and longitude coordinates) to a shapefile in ArcMap™. Re-projected Alaska and Hawaii to improve their alignment. Reselected out the nine GNIS data sets based on their class types. Removed features with incorrect coordinates and whose NAME contains the word 'Squaw'. Added the STCTYFIPS fields and populated them using source STATE and COUNTY fields. Adjusted the widths of the NAME fields. Converted the data sets to SDC. Created their ArcGIS® layer files (.lyr), projection files (.prj), and spatial indices. Data sources used in this process: USGS - GNIS {91FD70F3-1108-4DFC-92EE-E3D0070F7B0B}
