Ms Scurfield,
 
In answer to your question on where to get the US Board on Geographic
Names Gazetteers.  They are available as hardcopy publications from the
USGS at:
 
USGS Lakewood ESIC
Box 25046, Building 810
Denver Federal Center, MS-504
Denver, CO 80225 USA
 
Tel:  1-303-202-4210  (very busy)
Fax:  1-303-202-4695
 
A commercial digital version is available.  GDE Systems bought a copy (Feb
95) of the database used to generate these gazetteers and produced a
digital gazetteer CD which contains all 4 million current names.  (Some
"current" hardcopy gazetteers are over 40 years old.) This CD is for an
IBM-compatible PC running MS Windows 3.1/3.11.  Please contact us by email
at [log in to unmask] for more information.
