Abstract:
Library locations were mapped for the Napa County Baseline Data report. Many of the locations were selected from the U.S. Geological Survey's Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) datafiles, 1997. Other points were mapped from address information. |

Metadata elements shown with blue text are defined in the Federal Geographic Data Committee's (FGDC) Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Elements shown with green text are defined in the ESRI Profile of the CSDGM. Elements shown with a green asterisk (*) will be automatically updated by ArcCatalog. ArcCatalog adds hints indicating which FGDC elements are mandatory; these are shown with gray text.
Library locations were mapped for the Napa County Baseline Data report. Many of the locations were selected from the U.S. Geological Survey's Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) datafiles, 1997. Other points were mapped from address information.
The locations of libraries were used as sensitive receptors in the Napa County Baseline Data report. GNIS one of the sources of information was developed to promote geographic feature name standardization and to serve 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 Federal 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.

The Geographic Names Information System was developed by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the U.S. Board on Geographic Names.
A random sample of 10% of the entries in the system were visually verified against the compilation source data (large-scale USGS topographic maps) to ensure an accuracy rate of at least 95%.
Locative references (geographic coordinates, topographic map, and county) are cross-checked for logical consistency.
This dataset contains information about physical and cultural geographic features identified by a proper name, with the exception of most roads and highways.
Accuracy of these digital data is based upon the use of source graphics which are compiled to meet National Map Accuracy Standards. Comparision to the graphic source is used as control to assess digital positional accuracy.

The dataset contains records for named geographic features located in the United States, its Territories and Outlying Areas. The records are organized by State (or State equivalent). Each record includes: the official name of the feature; the feature type; the county(s) in which the feature is located; the name(s) of the USGS 1:24,000-scale topographic map(s) on which the feature is shown; geographic coordinates locating the mouth of linear features and the approximate center of areal features, and coordinates locating the feature on each additional (if any) USGS 1:24,000-scale map on which the feature is shown; a bibliographic code referring to the source of information for each record, and other names by which the feature may be or may have been known. Some records include information about the history of the feature or the origin of the feature name.
