Geographic Names Information System
The Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) is a database of name and locative information about more than two million physical and cultural features throughout the United States and its territories, Antarctica, and the associated states of the Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, and Palau. It is a type of gazetteer. It was developed by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the United States Board on Geographic Names (BGN) to promote the standardization of feature names. Data were collected in two phases. Although a third phase was considered, which would have handled name changes where local usages differed from maps, it was never begun. The database is part of a system that includes topographic map names and bibliographic references. The names of books and historic maps that confirm the feature or place name are cited. Variant names, alternatives to official federal names for a feature, are also recorded. Each feature receives ...

Stream Order
The stream order or waterbody order is a positive whole number used in geomorphology and hydrology to indicate the level of branching in a river system. There are various approachesKoschitzki, 2.3, pp. 12ff to the topological ordering of rivers or sections of rivers based on their distance from the source ("top down"Weishar, p. 30.) or from the confluence (the point where two rivers merge) or river mouth ("bottom up"Weishar, p. 35.), and their hierarchical position within the river system. As terminology, the words "stream" and "branch" tend to be used rather than "river". Classic stream order The ''classic stream order'', also called '' Hack's stream order'' or ''Gravelius' stream order'', is a "bottom up" hierarchy that allocates the number "1" to the river with its mouth at the sea (the main stem). Stream order is an important aspect of a drainage basin. It is defined as the measure of the position of a stream in the hierarchy of streams. Tributaries are given a number ...
