The Montana Geographic Names Framework is an inventory and location of place names, to promote geographic feature name standardization, and serves as the Federal Government's repository of information regarding feature name spellings and applications for features in U.S. The names listed in the inventory can be published on maps, charts, and in other documents. The feature locative information has been used in emergency preparedness, marketing, site-selection and analysis, genealogical and historical research, and transportation routing applications. |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This table contains the official names and alternate names for every feature in the Montana Geographic Names Framework (MGNF). For most features, the names are from the federal Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). This is intended to include the names of all features, current and historical, that are shown on maps, except for roads and highways.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>The data were developed from the "All Names" text file dated October 1, 2016 obtained from http://geonames.usgs.gov/domestic/download_data.htm. The data have been modified to remove names that are not in Montana and to add names from the MGNF that are not in the GNIS.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>The table has a column, "Official", whose values are either "Official" to indicate that the name is official for both the GNIS and the MGNF, "BGN" to indicate that the name is official for the GNIS but believed to be incorrect for the MGNF, "Montana" to indicate that the name is considered to be official for the MGNF but is not recognized as such by the GNIS, or "Alternate" to indicate that the name is an alternate name the feature has been known by, but should not be used in official maps or documents unless the official name is also specified.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
