Miscellaneous Information
So far, we found very little information about Viewpoint. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1>
We've added Viewpoint to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Viewpoint - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Viewpoint, please Contact Us.
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.
While FIPS codes have been assigned to all counties and states, a specific code has not been assigned to Viewpoint. The following FIPS codes apply to the State and County:
| State Code: | 41 (Oregon) |
| County Code: | 037 (Lake County) |
Regional Codes ...
For statistical purposes, the US Census Bureau has divided the country into four Regions. Viewpoint would have been located in Region #4 (the West Region).
In turn, the US Census Bureau has further divided each Region into Divisions. Viewpoint would have been located in Division #9 (the Pacific Division).
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has created ten Federal Regions. Viewpoint would have been located in Region X (Region 10).
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has created ten Management Regions. Viewpoint would have been located in Region X (Region 10).

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 Viewpoint, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy. |
