A great on-line resource for searching place names is the GNIS (Geographic Names Information System), of the U.S.G.S. (U.S. Geological Survey), at http://geonames.usgs.gov/ Clicking on "Query GNIS: U.S. and Territories" on the lefthand side will bring up a search engine. There, you can enter the name for which you are searching (adding a state or county will limit the hits to place names in that locality). Once you get a list of hits, clicking on the on you think is right will bring up a list of links, one of which is TopoZone.com. Following that one will display the USGS quandrangle map for the location. Another link (also to TopoZone.com) will show you an aerial photographic image of the location. Both are great sites, worthy of setting bookmarks. Julie Kidd
