Okay - so I'm half asleep this morning. I located the url in case others are interested. It is http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnis/web_fips55.gnis_web_fips55_form. I guess I missed the notice when the website was revamped. Thanks for listening anyway.

In the last few months it has disappeared. Does anyone know if this is back on line and what is the URL ? It was of tremendous help.
