When looking for place names that are not included in standardized place names, and should I want to make a suggestion via Support rather than just entering an alternate name, I find this site to be helpful: http://geonames.usgs.gov/ It is the site for the gazetteers for the Geodesic Survey folks out of Washington, DC. These folks are good at what they do. They do all the survey plats and coordinates for the United States and also have a list of similar sites for other countries around the world. Those are shown under Main Menu to the left of the screen. For the United States, first click Domestic Names. Then click Search which then appears just under Domestic Names. Search can be used in a variety of named features. I used to enter the town (Feature class: populated place) and state and wait for the county to come up. Now I let the NFS General Location Finder do most of that. However one can search all features at a time within a state, or just a feature name (without the state). Many old populated places are now just a post office, school, or cemetery. So if at first you don't find what you want, restructure your search and try variations. I once located a stream in the Midwest for someone on a Mailing List I was using. It had been named for his ancestor who emigrated to America. Since this list also gives longitude and latitude, one could use Google Earth to take a picture for one's records. One can also save a map right from the site. I have not used the foreign gazetteers as extensively, but they are official for their part of the world. They may work differently. Please note that the Search template doesn't "save" as a favorite very well. So I save the URL listed above in my favorites and click to the Search template. Hope this is helpful. Then, as I said before, if NFS standardization is unhelpful, hit the Escape key before the entry is final.
