USGS Frequently Asked Questions

Question:
Can I obtain driving directions to a feature recorded as an entry in the Geographic Names Information System database?
|
Answer: The GNIS records the official name and locative attributes (State, County, map, latitude, and longitude) of each feature. Other information is provided, but the mission and purpose of the GNIS preclude it from providing driving directions, which requires a great deal of data and resources not available to the system.
