    3. Hi All, Here is a site that may help you to find cemeteries, bridges, landmarks and so on... The results from your first query will first show the information by Latitude & Longitude. However, if you click on a name, it will lead you to the "US Tiger Maps" Below, you will find the URL. I have tried to explain as best I can, how to use this site. The first page has a lot of button's, knob's & switches that you don't need. :-) Kathy <a href="http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnis/web_query.gnis_web_query_form ">Geographic Names</a> This is an excerpt from the front page and what you need to use for your search: Geographic Names Information System United States and Territories 1.) State or Territory Name: (use the pulldown bar) example: I selected "ARKANSAS" 2.) Feature Name: ( use the drop-down menu) example" I selected "CEMETERY: 3.)
