The Federally recognized name of each feature described in the data base is identified, and references are made to a feature's location by State, county, and geographic coordinates. The GNIS is our Nation's official repository of domestic geographic names information. Information about foreign geographic feature names can be obtained from the GEOnet Names Server, developed and maintained by the National Imagery and Mapping Agency.

http://www.topozone.com is a site that provides topographical maps of sites in the U.S. Upon visiting the site you are presented with an opportunity to select a site of your choice. A topo-map for that site and surrounding area is provided. The site is good in that it seems to know about remote and historical towns that no longer exist. At a deeper level on this site you can subscribe to more extensive services. MCC of OGS has not subscribed and probably will not. If you elect to subscribe you are on your own. But the initial level found on this site, which is free, is well worth the visit.
The Monroe County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society (MCC of OGS), as the name implies, is a member of the state-wide Ohio Genealogical Society. To visit the OGS web site, click on www.ogs.org.
