This is a summary of links that might prove helpful to authors of BFNA treatments. The most important links are two links to gazetteers:

U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System (U.S. domestic locations)

Global Gazetteer (Worldwide Directory of Cities and Towns) ("This is a directory of 3397140 of the world's cities and towns, sorted by country and linked to a map for each town. Presentation Copyright 1998-2000 by Carl Rosenberg.") Note: Coverage does not include the United States (03/18/00)

The above are the two gazetteers that appear to be most useful. Others may be found at:
