With entries in the work taken from the 1998 Columbia Gazetteer of the World (see ARBA 2000, entry 351), this volume continues the tradition of providing accurate, useful, current geographic information for researchers. This work includes more than 50,000 entries covering every incorporated place and county in the United States, along with many unincorporated places and physical features throughout North America...This work will provide libraries of all types with a valuable addition to their geographical information resources. It will become the first source to turn to when trying to locate North American sites. -- Gregory Curtis American Reference Books Annual Recommended for any reference collection unable to acquire the original complete set. -- Library Journal
