Terms and Conditions
Acceptance
By using this site you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use it.
What the site provides
It reproduces the federal register of place names and presents elevation read from a federal elevation service. It is informational. It is not advice about travel, safety, access or land use, and must not be relied on when deciding whether it is safe or lawful to go anywhere.
Safety and access
A place appearing on this site is not a recommendation to visit it and not a statement that it can be reached, entered or crossed. Entries may lie on private land, inside closed or restricted areas, or in terrain requiring skills and equipment this site says nothing about. Conditions change and this site does not track them. Check with the agency that manages the land before travelling.
No affiliation
Northwest Places is independent. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by or operated by the U.S. Geological Survey, the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, the National Park Service, the U.S. Forest Service, or any state or federal agency. Place names are used to identify places and for no other purpose.
Accuracy
The data is reproduced from the federal release and is believed faithful to it, but the site is provided as is and without warranty of any kind, express or implied. The federal register may itself contain errors and may be out of date. To the fullest extent the law allows, the operator is not liable for any loss or damage arising from use of, or reliance on, anything published here.
Your use of the data
The underlying federal data is in the public domain in the United States and you may use it freely; the USGS is the source and should be cited as such. The arrangement, wording, design and calculated fields of this site are its own work. You may link to any page.
Advertising
The site may carry advertising supplied by third parties. Advertisements are not endorsements, and advertisers have no influence over what is published. See the Cookie Policy.
Changes
These terms may change. The version published here is the one in force.
