We've added Douglas to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Douglas - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Douglas, please Contact Us.
Various Identification Codes ...
FIPS Codes ...
In a past effort, various federal agencies created 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 Douglas. The following FIPS codes apply to the State and County:
| State Code: | 32 (Nevada) |
| County Code: | 005 (Douglas County) |
Regional Codes ...
For statistical purposes, the US Census Bureau has divided the country into four Regions. Douglas would have been located in Region #4 (the West Region).
In turn, the US Census Bureau has further divided each Region into Divisions. Douglas would have been located in Division #8 (the Mountain Division).
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has created ten Federal Regions. Douglas would have been located in Region IX (Region 9).
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has created ten Management Regions. Douglas would have been located in Region IX (Region 9).

Footnotes ...
| <1> | We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Douglas, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy. |
