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. 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 Geographic Names Information System was developed by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the U.S. Board on Geographic Names.

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. true Entity and Attribute Information http://gstore.unm.edu/apps/rgisarchive/datasets/2910ccfe-9437-4dd8-a215-94047a740748/metadata/ISO-19110.xml http Earth Data Analysis Center Clearinghouse Manager 505-277-3622 ext. 230 505-277-3614 MSC01 1110 1 University of New Mexico Albuquerque NM 87131-0001 USA clearinghouse@edac.unm.edu 0800 - 1700 MT, M-F -7 hours GMT distributor None.

Subsequent data compilation and input processes include programmed validation checks for logical consistency, visual examination, and spot checks of data. GNIS Phase I data compilation and edit - Feature name and attribute data were collected from the largest-scale USGS topographic maps available. These data are compared to the records of the U.S. Board on Geographic Names. 1981-05-01T00:00:00 Chief, Geographic Names Project 703 648 4552 523 National Center Reston Virginia 20192 gnis_manager@usgs.gov Monday through Friday 0730-1700 Eastern Time USGS USBGN 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. Chief, Geographic Names Project 703 648 4552 523 National Center Reston Virginia 20192 gnis_manager@usgs.gov Monday through Friday 0730-1700 Eastern Time USGS USBGN 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 with no connection to production data is available for review, training, and familiarization. Batch files will be accepted in most standard formats. Government agencies at all levels are encouraged to join this program. Other organizations and individuals will be considered on a case basis. For additional information or to request user accounts for entry and edit of production data and web seminar training, contact gnis_manager@usgs.gov or the individual below.

Points that were not within New Mexico or had no geographic information were deleted. All water features were selected (arroyos, bays, canals, channels, falls, lakes, rapids, reservoirs, springs, streams, and swamps) and used to create a new shapefile. 2013-05-17T15:28:36 Earth Data Analysis Center GIS Analyst 505-277-3622 505-277-3614 MSC01 1110 1 University of New Mexico Albuquerque NM 87131-0001 USA clearinghouse@edac.unm.edu Feature names and attribute data. 24000 1:24,000-scale topographic maps USGS U.S. Geological Survey publication date present Feature names and attribute information Records of the U.S. Board on Geographic Names USBGN U.S. Geological Survey Creation date 1890-01-01 present Feature names and attribute information 24000 U.S. Forest Service 1:24,000-scale topographic maps and visitor maps USFS U.S. Forest Service Publication date present Feature names and attribute information National Ocean Service charts NOAA/NOS National Ocean Service (NOS) Publication date present Feature names and attribute information Unknown Various The State Names Authorities Council of Geographic Names Authorities (COGNA) U.S. Forest Service National Ocean Service (NOS) National Park Service (NPS) Other Federal, state and local agencies Public Unknown Earth Data Analysis Center Clearinghouse Manager 505-277-3622 ext. 230 505-277-3614 MSC01 1110 1 University of New Mexico Albuquerque NM 87131-0001 USA clearinghouse@edac.unm.edu 0800 - 1700 MT, M-F -7 hours GMT custodian
