Miscellaneous InformationVarious Identification Codes ...GNIS Codes ...The U.S. Board on Geographic Names (BGN) was created to address the problems caused by spelling and naming variations. The BGN will usually recognize an existing name or, when necessary, establish a new name for a geographic feature (such as a mountain, lake, river, stream, city, town, village, dam, bridge, etc). The BGN names are kept in a database called the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and it is the official Federal repository. The GNIS is operated and maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). A unique and permanent code has been assigned for each name in the GNIS database. These names and identifiers are definitive and it is intended that they are to be used by all departments of the Federal Government: GNIS ID for Atlantis: 884386 GNIS ID for Ocean County: 882279 GNIS ID for New Jersey: 1779795 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. While FIPS codes have been assigned to all counties and states, a specific code has not been assigned to Atlantis. The following FIPS codes apply to the State and County:
Regional Codes ...For statistical purposes, the US Census Bureau has divided the country into four Regions. Atlantis is located in Region #1 (the Northeast Region). In turn, the US Census Bureau has further divided each Region into Divisions. Atlantis is located in Division #2 (the Middle Atlantic Division). The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has created ten Federal Regions. Atlantis is located in Region II (Region 2). The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has created ten Management Regions. Atlantis is located in Region II (Region 2). Referenced GNIS Records ...GNIS ID #884386 (Name of Record: Atlantis) Class: populated place A place or area having clustered or scattered buildings and a permanent population (such as a city, settlement, town or village). The boundaries may or may not coincide with the perceived population. A 'populated place' record may have a corresponding 'census' or 'civil' record. The information contained in the 'populated place' record applies only to the class and should not be confused with either the 'census' and 'civil' classes.
