Department of
Regrettable Toponymy
The sheets are printed on cotton and worn
The Department compiles, surveys and issues sheets for places whose names are a matter of public record. Each sheet carries the coordinates, the elevation, the county, and the account of the naming as it was set down at the time.
This is the only respect in which the Department departs from ordinary survey practice.
