The 'GEONAMES' layer contains the locations and names of features of interest in California. The source of this point coverage is the U.S. Geological Survey's Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) datafiles. These files are compiled mainly from USGS map products such as the 7.5' 1:24,000 quads. There are 59 different types of features in the layer. Users should remember that these feature types are not exhaustive. For example, reselecting schools will not give you every school, but it will furnish a large number of school locations. The features presented are the same ones as seen on USGS map sheets.
To provide information about Geographic place names in California to the public.
This layer is useful for furnishing landmarks on plots. It can also serve as a base data layer. The features help to orient the viewer and give a sense of scale to the plot. There is some overlap with the PLACES layer (populated places). If this causes problems, reselect type = ppl, then select.
