This "gazetteer provides the sort of in-depth coverage of U.S. place names that has long been lacking. In addition to populated places of all types and sizes, both incorporated and unincorporated -- states and territories, counties, cities, towns, townships, villages, districts, etc. -- the gazetteer also covers natural features, such as hills, mountains, and mountain ranges; valleys, plains, and basins; rivers, lakes, and streams; bays, inlets, and harbors; capes, peninsulas, islands, and beaches, forests and woods; caves and rock formations. There are also tens of thousands of entries for structures, facilities, and locales, named entities that have been built or shaped by human activity; schools, churches, hospitals, parks, airports, military installations, public buildings, dams, reservoirs, bridges, towers, historic sites, battlefields, and cemeteries.".

Includes Virgin Islands of the U.S.
