Geographic Name Extraction - Geographical Name Mapping

East View Cartographic has extensive experience with geographic name extraction projects. With the use of topographic maps from different sources, with varying scales and vintages, we can produce a database of geographical name mapping. Each individual name will have an accurate coordinate location as well as all native and variant names with detailed source information. Geographic names can include cities, towns, and villages; mountain peaks and ranges; rivers, streams and tributaries; and other important cultural and natural features. Geographic name extraction is a useful tool for correlating maps of different scales and from different years. It also is useful in tracking name changes over a large period of time.

Our staff has years of geographical name extraction experience interpreting topographic maps and extensive knowledge of the NGA mapping standards to provide our clients with the best possible geographic names information available. In addition, our geographical naming quality control standards ensure that you receive only the highest quality geographic names data.
