    <abstract lang="eng" displayLabel="Abstract">This point shapefile depicts physical and cultural geographic features of all types, not including roads and highways, within the nine county San Francisco Bay Area Region, California onto which other thematic data can be layered.This coverage defines each feature location by state, county, United States Geological Survey topographic map, geographic coordinates (decimal degrees, NAD 83), feature designations, feature types or classes, historical and descriptive information, geometric boundaries for some categories and a unique, permanent feature identification number. This data was originally compiled in January 2006 at the request of the California Resources Agency&#x2019;s California Advisory Committee on Geographic Names. Modifications and corrections were prepared by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife Biogeographic Data Branch in Sacramento, California. Separate data tables account for variant names and known (but not a complete account of) errors in the dataset. GNIS sources data from Federal, States, local government agencies and other authorized contributors. This layer is part of the Conservation Lands Network regional biodiversity GIS database.</abstract>
    <abstract lang="eng" displayLabel="Purpose">This dataset was developed/compiled for use in the San Francisco Bay Area Upland Habitat Goals Project, a Project used to identify a Conservation Lands Network (CLN) for biodiversity preservation to inform conservation investments and lasting cooperative conservation partnerships. The Conservation Lands Network GIS Database is the primary output of the Project. The data depicts the spatially explicit CLN that is recommended for the nine county San Francisco Bay Area Region, California.</abstract>
    <note lang="eng" displayLabel="Conceptual consistency report">The 2006 California extracts of the USGS GNIS exhibits consistency and accuracy.  Improvement has been obtained over previous versions, including the addition of over 2600 records since 2000.  A new "census" feature class has been added.</note>

USGS GNIS Extract for California

Sources:
CA_deci.txt + CA_coords.txt + CA_vars.txt; GNIS extract of January 2006; transmitted 2006-01-11; From rworcest@usgs.gov to pveisze@dfg.ca.gov.

Derivative Shapefile: "calgeonames2006.shp" 

1. Parsed CA_deci.txt and generated point shapefile from decimal degree coordinates in NAD 83.

2. Excluded secondary coordinates of large-extent features such as "Pacific Ocean" (Feature_ID 247074) and "Mojave Desert" (246062) beyond approximately 50 miles of the California border.

3. Excluded database records for which there were no numeric coordinates.

4. Excluded DFG-maintained records for caves in California (83 total).
Contact DFG for details.

5. Excluded USGS "Cell Names" and "Cell IDs" from names records to focus strictly on the points representing geographic features.  Known errors exist in map cell-assignments in names records.  See separate table "cagnis_cellshift_2005_2006b.dbf".

6. Excluded County Names focus strictly on the points representing geographic features.  Known errors exist in county-assignments in names records.  See separate table "calgeonames2006_2005_countydiff.dbf".

7. Feature type modifications:
a. changed "Feature_Type" from "valley" to "undersea" for Feature_ID 1652880 "Carmel Canyon"; Sequence 1 and 2
b. changed "Feature_Type" from "basin" to "undersea" for Feature_ID 1652882 "Catalina Basin"
c. changed "valley" to "undersea" for "Monterey Canyon".

8. Appended a record to represent the mouth (primary coordinate) of the Colorado River (located in Mexico).

9. Projected event-theme shapefile from decimal degrees (NAD 83) to California Teale Albers NAD 83.
