Description: This copy of the Geographic Names Framework is designed to facilitate the search function of the Montana State Library's Digital Atlas application. Streams and Lakes have been removed from the layer because the Digital Atlas has a separate search for those based on the National Hydrography Dataset. The official and alternate names for each feature from the all names table have been appended to each other, converted to upper case, and stored in the All_Names field to allow searches for alternate names.

Description: Boundaries of the 60x30 minute 1:100,000 scale quadrangles in Montana. The layer contains attribute fields for the dates of various map and data products related to the quadrangles that were available at the State Library in 1992.
Description: This layer contains the boundaries and names of the 7.5-minute, 1:240000 scale, USGS topographic map quadrangles of Montana. It contains the Motana Natural Heritage quadrangle code and the Civil Air Patrol Grid ID for each quadrangle, and the date of the quadrangle map image in the Montana State Library's Digital Line Graph collection.
Description: Lakes extracted from the 24K NHD. Only named waters are included and they are dissolved by GNISID (resullting in one feature per water, instead of multiple reaches)The National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) is a feature-based database that interconnects and uniquely identifies the stream segments or reaches that make up the nation's surface water drainage system. NHD data was originally developed at 1:100,000-scale and exists at that scale for the whole country. This high-resolution NHD, generally developed at 1:24,000/1:12,000 scale, adds detail to the original 1:100,000-scale NHD. (Data for Alaska, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands was developed at high-resolution, not 1:100,000 scale.) Local resolution NHD is being developed where partners and data exist. The NHD contains reach codes for networked features, flow direction, names, and centerline representations for areal water bodies. Reaches are also defined on waterbodies and the approximate shorelines of the Great Lakes, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and the Gulf of Mexico. The NHD also incorporates the National Spatial Data Infrastructure framework criteria established by the Federal Geographic Data Committee.
