Abstract:
Geographic Names for the State of Hawaii as of September 3, 2024. (Data current / last edited in GNIS December 2023). Downloaded by the Hawaii Statewide GIS Program from the U.S. Board on Geographic Names Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) September 3, 2024 (https://www.usgs.gov/u.s.-board-on-geographic-names/download-gnis-data). The Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) is the Federal standard for geographic nomenclature. The U.S. Geological Survey developed the GNIS for the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, a Federal inter-agency body chartered by public law to maintain uniform feature name usage throughout the Government and to promulgate standard names to the public. The GNIS is the official repository of domestic geographic names data; the official vehicle for geographic names use by all departments of the Federal Government; and the source for applying geographic names to Federal electronic and printed products of all types.

Purpose:
Geographic Names for the State of Hawaii as of September 3, 2024. (Data current / last edited in GNIS December 2023). Downloaded by the Hawaii Statewide GIS Program from the U.S. Board on Geographic Names Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) September 3, 2024 (https://www.usgs.gov/u.s.-board-on-geographic-names/download-gnis-data). The Geographic Names Information System contains information about physical geographic features of all types in the United States, associated areas, and Antarctica, current and historical, but not including cultural features, roads and highways. The database holds the Federally recognized name of each feature and defines the feature location by state, county, USGS topographic map, and geographic coordinates. Other attributes include names or spellings other than the official name, feature designations, feature classification, historical and descriptive information. The database assigns a unique, permanent feature identifier, the Feature ID, as a standard Federal key for accessing, integrating, or reconciling feature data from multiple data sets. The GNIS provides data to all levels of government and to the public, as well as to numerous applications through a web query site and file download services. For additional information, please refer to metadata at https://files.hawaii.gov/dbedt/op/gis/data/geonames.pdf or contact Hawaii Statewide GIS Program, Office of Planning and Sustainable Development, State of Hawaii; PO Box 2359, Honolulu, Hi. 96804; (808) 587-2846; email: gis@hawaii.gov; Website: https://planning.hawaii.gov/gis.
Supplemental_Information:
The U.S. Board on Geographic Names was created in 1890 and established in its present form by Public Law in 1947 to establish and maintain uniform geographic name usage throughout the Federal Government. The Board serves all government agencies and the public as the central authority to which name inquiries, name issues, and new name proposals can be directed. It is comprised of representatives of Federal agencies associated with land management and cartography. Sharing its responsibilities with the Secretary of the Interior, the Board develops principles, policies, and procedures governing the use of both domestic and foreign geographic names as well as undersea and Antarctic feature names.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Content is derived from USGS topographic maps during Phase 1 compilation (1976-81), with subsequent entries entered using other Federal, State, and local sources of information.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Data is compiled from Federal, State, and local sources and is validated according to the Board on Geographic Names’ Principles, Policies, and Procedures.
Completeness_Report:
This dataset contains information about physical geographic features of all types and classes, within the United States and Associated Territories. Subsequent to the original data compilation process, based on information contained on primarily Federal maps, the GNIS now relies on information from tribal, Federal, State, county, and local government entities and other approved sources. The completeness, currency, and accuracy of the data varies by area depending on the quality and timeliness of that information.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Accuracy of these digital data is based upon the use of printed or electronic source graphics which are compiled to meet National Map Accuracy Standards. If maps are not used, data is validated against original source material.
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Elevation values are obtained using the 3DEP point location service and is dependent on the GNIS primary point location.
