It also includes some historical locations, in case they no longer exist. I usually check the "Variant Name" item if I'm not positive of a name, and I just did a search for "five points" in all of Alabama with this turned on, which yielded many hits -- and only one for Elmore County. http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnis/web_query.GetDetail?tab=Y&id=118329 That leads to a page which includes links to produce maps, which show Five Points to be an area contained within the city limits of modern Millbrook. = Steve =
