Geographic Names Information System
The Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) is a database of name and location information about more than two million physical and cultural features, encompassing the United States and its territories; the Compact of Free Association, associated states of the Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, and Palau; and Antarctica. It is a type of gazetteer. It was developed by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the United States Board on Geographic Names (BGN) to promote the standardization of feature names. Data were collected in two phases. Although a third phase was considered, which would have handled name changes where local usages differed from maps, it was never begun. The database is part of a system that includes topographic map names and bibliographic references. The names of books and historic maps that confirm the feature or place name are cited. Variant names, alternatives to official federal names for a feature, are also recor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Area Code 775
Area code 775 is a Nevada telephone area code in the North American Numbering Plan. It was split from area code 702 on December 12, 1998, and it covers the entire state except for Clark County, which retained area code 702 after the split. Major cities in this area code include Reno, Carson City, Elko, and Pahrump. While it appears to be rural, more than 80 percent of its numbers are located in the far western portion around Reno and Carson City. Prior to the creation of 775, area code 702 had served all of Nevada for 51 years. The state's dramatic growth in the second half of the 20th century and the corresponding growth in telephone service would have made a second area code a must in any event. However, the proliferation of cell phones, pagers, and fax machines, particularly in Las Vegas, Reno, and Carson City, hastened the need for the expansion of Nevada's number pool. Despite Reno and Carson City's continued growth, 775 is nowhere near exhaustion. Under the most recent ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
