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.
