Miscellaneous Information
Various 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 identification number 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 Eden Village: 1453597
GNIS ID for Weber County: 1448042
GNIS ID for Utah: 1455989
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 Eden Village. The following FIPS codes apply to the State and County:
| State Code: | 49 (Utah) |
| County Code: | 057 (Weber County) |
GPS Location - GNIS Coordinates ...
An important aspect of the GNIS code is that it assigns a GPS location (the latitude/longitude) to the geographic feature. This location is simply a point on the map and does not represent the size or shape of the feature. In the case of Eden Village, it is a point within Eden Village that might be a post office, the city hall or simply an intersection - the point should really be considered arbitrary and only indicating a general location.
For Eden Village, the GNIS GPS location is given as:
Lat: 41° 18' 9" (or 41.3°)
Lon: -111° 48' 4" (or -111.8°)
Regional Codes ...
For statistical purposes, the US Census Bureau has divided the country into four Regions. Eden Village is located in Region #4 (the West Region).
In turn, the US Census Bureau has further divided each Region into Divisions. Eden Village is located in Division #8 (the Mountain Division).
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has created ten Federal Regions. Eden Village is located in Region VIII (Region 8).
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has created ten Management Regions. Eden Village is located in Region VIII (Region 8).
