Description:

Abstract:
This point data represents place names and features that are found on the USGS 7.5' topoquad series, specifically locale and populated places. Locale is a place at which there is or was human activity; it does not include populated places, mines, and dams (battlefield, crossroad, camp, farm, ghost town, landing, railroad siding, ranch, ruins, site, station, windmill). Populated places (ppl) is a place or area with clustered or scattered buildings and a permanent human population (city, settlement, town, village).
Purpose:
This data was produced to provide a graphic representation of information that depicts named places in New Jersey. The named places contained within this data can be found on the USGS 7.5' topoquad series.
