TN_GNIS-FEATURES

The new system is here: https://edits.nationalmap.gov/apps/gaz-domestic/public/search/names

But all is not lost, because they have made the previous GNIS database available by states as comma-delimited text files, available here:

I downloaded the Tennessee file and have created a spreadsheet for it in LibreOffice. The very large spreadsheet (6 MB), sorted first by county, then by feature name is here:

TN_Features_20210825_sorted.ods

I have also created individual file for each county from this spreadsheet, available from the following links.

Johnson	Knox	Lake	Lauderdale	Lawrence
Lewis	Lincoln	Loudon	Macon	Madison
Marion	Marshall	Maury	McMinn	McNairy
Meigs	Monroe	Montgomery	Moore	Morgan

Wayne	Weakley	White	Williamson	Wilson

My old Excel 2011 (Version 14.6.1) will not open or import .ods files, but later versions will do so. I expect any version of Excel should be able to open the original text-delimited file, which I did in LibreOffice to create these files, although it did take a bit of work to get them to the current forms.

If you would like to try LibreOffice, it is free, although donations are appreciated, and is available in both Windows and Mac versions:
