- Abstract
- Anhui Province Placenames, 1990 is a point theme representing populated places and natural features in Anhui Province, China (circa 1990)
- Purpose
- Projected for use with CHGIS Version 4 [Gauss Kruger Xian 1980 Zone 19]
- Supplemental Information
- Toponymic information is based on the Geographic Names Data Base, containing official standard names approved by the United States Board on Geographic Names and maintained by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. More information is available at the Maps and Geodata link at www.nga.mil. CHGIS Editor's Note: Chinese Placenames in GNS files were extracted from numerous map sources. Romanizations are mixed (Pinyin, Wade-Giles, ad hoc). Hierarchical Administrative Unit information, found in all of the FIELDS to the right of NM_ASCII (in the attribute table) are derived from spatial joins with COUNTY level units, circa 1991, and match the National Standard Codes (GuoBiao Codes) in the publication GBT / 2260 1991. Therefore the data can be sorted by Prefectural Level Unit (using the PREF_ID field) or by County Level Unit (using the CNTY_ID field). A digital table of the GBT 2260 codes can be downloaded from CHGIS.
