Geographic Profile
Sometimes we know one piece of geographic information but
we need to know more. The Geographic Profile compares multiple spatial datasets and provides detailed geographic
information from just one piece of data.
Some datasets included are: county boundaries, city boundaries, USGS quads, township/range/section, Water Management Districts, and the Geographic Name Information System (GNIS).
Here are sample questions that can be answered:

The U.S. Board on Geographic Names is a Federal body created in 1890 and established in its present form by
Public Law in 1947 to maintain uniform geographic name usage throughout the Federal Government. The Board comprises
representatives of Federal agencies concerned with geographic information, population, ecology, and management of
public lands. Sharing its responsibilities with the Secretary of the Interior, the Board promulgates official
geographic feature names with locative attributes as well as principles, policies, and procedures governing the
use of domestic names, foreign names,
Antarctic names, and undersea feature names.
