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.
The following FIPS codes apply to Grand Encampment:
| Place (Community) Code: | 32650 |
| State Code: | 56 (Wyoming) |
| County Code: | 007 (Carbon 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: | 56/32650 |
| State/County Code: | 56/007 |

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