GNIS - Some Local Waterways
The Geographic
Names Information System (GNIS), developed by the USGS in cooperation
with the U.S. Board on Geographic Names (BGN), contains information
about almost 2 million physical and cultural geographic features
in the United States. The Federally recognized name of each feature
described in the data base is identified, and references are made
to a feature's location by State, county, and geographic coordinates
and common location name. The GNIS is our Nation's official repository
of domestic geographic names information. The following
list does not contain every instance and gives modern names and
locations.
