Toponymy

Place names

Place names [GNIS]

This map shows the locations of all named geographic features on Chuuk Lagoon that are contained within the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). The GNIS is the official database that contains all standard toponyms in the U.S. and its territories and associated states. It was developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the U.S. Board on Geographic Names (BGN) in order to standardize place names. Island Research & Education Initiative (iREi) (2020) transferred this information to GIS format and shifted to match the most recent base layer and 2016 WorldView-2 satellite imagery provided by U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) – Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Note that place names contained in the dataset are copied verbatim from GNIS and are not necessarily correct or aligned with Chuukese orthography.
