This book is the second report of the United States Board on Geographic Names, established in 1890. The Board's mission is to record and study geographic names inside the boundaries of the United States and, where possible, around the world. This volume contains all the decisions reached by the Board to the date of publication, as well as the history, methodology, and principles on which the Board relies to standardize geographic names. The Board's work is essential because inconsistent or corrupted names can lead to confusion and errors. The Board's established guidelines for naming promote clear and simple names, with the goal of encouraging uniformity across individual maps, government publications, popular works, and even personal correspondence. This comprehensive report is an invaluable resource for historians, cartographers, and all those interested in the origins, meanings, and official adoption of place names in the United States and abroad.
