    Toponymy

    Place names [GNIS]

    Place names

    This map shows the locations of all named geographic features in the Neighboring Islands of Yap that are contained within the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). The GNIS is the official database that contains all standard toponyms in the United States 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) (2023) transferred this information to GIS format and shifted to match the most recent base layer; however, the shifted location could not always be verified leading to a low location accuracy in some cases. Note that the actual names contained in the dataset are copied exactly as they are in GNIS and are not necessarily correct or aligned with formal orthography of indigenous languages spoken in the Neighboring Islands of Yap.
