Miscellaneous Information


Various Identification Codes ...

FIPS Codes ...

In a past effort, various federal agencies worked together to create a set of codes with a purpose similar to the GNIS codes. These codes are called the Federal Information Processing Standard (or the FIPS 55 codes). Although they are still used by some organizations, the FIPS codes are obsolete and will ultimately be replaced by the GNIS codes.

The following FIPS codes apply to Lee's Ferry:

Place (Community) Code:  40420
State Code:  04 (Arizona)
County Code:  005 (Coconino County)

Since the Place and County FIPS codes are not unique and can be repeated in other States, it's necessary to combine the State code with the Place and County FIPS codes to uniquely identify them - for example:

State/Place Code:  04/40420
State/County Code:  04/005

Regional Codes ...

For statistical purposes, the US Census Bureau has divided the country into four Regions. Lee's Ferry is located in Region #4 (the West Region).

In turn, the US Census Bureau has further divided each Region into Divisions. Lee's Ferry is located in Division #8 (the Mountain Division).

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has created ten Federal Regions. Lee's Ferry is located in Region IX (Region 9).

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has created ten Management Regions. Lee's Ferry is located in Region IX (Region 9).
