The source of this point feature class is the U.S. Geological Survey's Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) data files. These files are compiled mainly from USGS map products such as the 7.5' 1:24,000 quads. This feature class is useful for furnishing landmarks on plots. It can also serve as base data. The features help to orient the viewer and give a sense of scale. There is some overlap with the PLACES feature class (populated places). If this causes problems, reselect TYPE = 'ppl', then nselect/Switch Selection..The purpose of the GEONAME feature class is to show the locations and names of features of interest in CaliforniaThese feature types are not exhaustive. For example, reselecting schools will not select every California school, but it will furnish a large number of school locations. The features present are the same ones seen on USGS map sheets. Similar GNIS information is also available in the Caltrans GNIS and PLACES feature classes.U.S. Geological Survey19920901geonamevector digital datahttp://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/tsip/gis/datalibrary/gisdatalibrary.htmlpublication date19920901-122.338859-121.50105337.90548137.459938-122.338859-121.50105337.45993837.905481ShapefileU.S. Geological Survey Caltrans TSI/GIS Data Branch Metadata Coordinator mailing and physical address Sacramento CA 95814

APPENDIX B.--Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) Feature Class Definitions The feature class terms and abbreviations currently consist of nine or fewer letters and were chosen for computer search and retrieval pur poses. They do not necessarily represent terminology for the identification of all kinds of cultural and natural features. Although some of the terms may agree with dictionary definitions, they represent more generalized categories. Some commonly used generics are listed in parentheses at the end of each entry to assist in understanding the range of cultural and natural entities represented by the term. Refer to the Reference Data Base to retrieve all generics thus far encountered in geographic names compilation. In most instances, a plural form is listed as if it were singular; for example, archipelago or islands would be categorized as island. The terms and the definitions are as follows: airport-manmade facility maintained for the use of aircraft (airfield, airstrip, landing field, landing strip). arch-natural arch-like opening in a rock mass (bridge, natural bridge, sea arch). area-any one of several areally extensive natural features not included in other categories (badlands, barren, delta, fan, garden). arroyo-watercourse or channel through which water may occasionally flow (coulee, draw, gully, wash). bar-natural accumulation of sand, gravel, or alluvium forming an underwater or exposed embankment (ledge, reef, sandbar, shoal, spit). basin-natural depression or relatively low area enclosed by higher land (amphitheater, cirque, pit, sink). bay-indentation of a coastline or shoreline enclosing a part of a body of water;

a curve in a linear body of water (bottom, loop, meander). bridge-manmade structure carrying a trail, road, or other trans- portation system across a body of water or depression (causeway, overpass, trestle). building-a manmade structure with walls and a roof for protection of people and (or) materials, but not including church, hospital, or school. canal-manmade waterway used by watercraft or for drainage, irriga- tion, mining, or water power (ditch, lateral). cape-projection of land extending into a body of water (lea, neck, peninsula, point). cave-natural underground passageway or chamber, or a hollowed out cavity in the side of a cliff (cavern, grotto). cemetery-a place or area for burying the dead (burial, burying ground, grave, memorial garden). channel-linear deep part of a body of water through which the main volume of water flows and is frequently used as a route for watercraft (passage, reach, strait, thoroughfare, throughfare). church-building used for religious worship (chapel, mosque, synagogue, tabernacle, temple). civil-a political division formed for administrative purposes (borough, county, municipio, parish, town, township). cliff-very steep or vertical slope (bluff, crag, head, headland, nose, palisades, precipice, promontory, rim, rimrock). crater-circular-shaped depression at the summit of a volcanic cone or one on the surface of the land caused by the impact of a meteorite; a manmade depression caused by an explosion (caldera, lua). crossing-a place where two or more routes of transportation form a junction or intersection (overpass, underpass). dam-water barrier or embankment built across the course of a stream or into a body of water to control and (or) impound the flow of water (breakwater, dike, jetty). falls-perpendicular or very steep fall of water in the course of a stream (cascade, cataract, waterfall). flat-relative level area within a region of greater relief (clearing, glade, playa). forest-bounded area of woods, forest, or grassland under the administration of a political agency (see woods) (national forest, national grasslands, State forest). gap-low point or opening between hills or mountains or in a ridge or mountain range (col, notch, pass, saddle, water gap, wind gap) geyser-eruptive spring from which hot water and (or) steam and in some cases mud are periodically thrown. glacier-body or stream of ice moving outward and downslope from an area of accumulation;
