places, schools, reservoirs, and parks to streams, valleys, springs, ridges, and every feature type except roads
and highways. Entries include information such as the federally recognized name for the feature; former names,
as well as variant spellings of the official name; the status of the names as determined by the U.S. Board on
Geographic Names; the county or counties in which each named feature is located; the geographic coordinates
(in degrees, minutes, and seconds, as well as decimal degrees) that locate the approximate center of an areal
feature or the mouth and source of a linear feature such as a stream; and the name(s) of the USGS cell(s)
(topographic map(s)) on which the feature may appear. Elevation, extent, and historical information are
available for some features
