US (non-Alaskan) Place Names -- Discussion
Posted: Sat Apr 11, 2020 12:05 pm
This topic is for the United States excluding Alaska.
We have a very large number of Alaskan place names, so we have created topics specifically for the state of Alaska: Alaskan Place Names -- Reference and Alaskan Place Names -- Discussion
In general, if you are looking for place names or for maps and other useful references, you should go to US (non-Alaskan) Place Names -- Reference.
You can use this topic to search for information that has not yet been added to the Reference topic.
You can also use this topic to ask for help with reading a US (non-Alaskan) place name or locating the place.
Give us a link to the log page(s) where it is mentioned and tell us approximately where it occurs on the page(s).
Note: Place names include lighthouses.
If you have information about a place name or find a useful reference, please help everyone by contributing it to this topic.
When contributing place names, try to provide as many of the following as possible:
(You can save us even more work by using the template provided, but that is strictly optional.)
Any kind of geographical information in this topic is always welcome. A Google Map covering a specific ship or area is a good example of a much appreciated contribution. We will collect them in the corresponding Reference topic.
