Geographic Names Survey

The Geographic Names Survey is a systematic process of collecting, documenting, and verifying the names and locations of geographic features such as mountains, rivers, towns, and landmarks. Its purpose is to ensure consistent and accurate naming across maps, government records, and publications. This survey helps prevent confusion by standardizing names, preserves cultural and historical significance, and supports navigation, emergency response, and planning efforts. It involves researchers working with local communities, historical records, and geographic data to establish authoritative names and maintain an up-to-date database of geographic information.
