Description
Abstract
Names and locations of physical and cultural features located
thoughout Oregon.
Purpose
The feature locations and names are meant to be used in GIS analyses
and applications and cartographic displays. The names can be published
on Federal maps, charts, and in other documents.
Supplemental_Information
Procedures_Used
Obtained December 1996 GNIS CDROM from the USGS.
Selected those records that matched OREGON
Exported the records as a dbase file
Used the dbaseinfo ARC/Info command to make into an info file
Separated out the coordinates of the primary coordinates
and used them to generate a coverage
Used the ARC/Info joinitem command to join the info file with the
coverage.
