<otherCitDet>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.</otherCitDet>

<otherCitDet>The Geographic Names Server (GNS) is the official repository of standard spellings of all foreign geographic names, sanctioned by the United States Board on Geographic Names (BGN). In addition to the current approved names of features, users may find variant and historical spellings, along with non-Roman script spellings. Each record contained within provides information on the feature's location, administrative division, and designation (e.g., populated place, stream, mountain). The GNS can be used for finding places, GIS data, cartography, and GEOINT products.</otherCitDet>

<suppInfo>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.</suppInfo>
