WHEREAS, there exist inconsistencies among maps, documents, road signs and local

mountain, etc. appear on official published maps is through the Alaska Historical Commission to
the U.S. Board on Geographic Names; and

is the identification and protection of local historic resources; and

perpetuating names of local events, people, and places; and

location for recreation; and
WHEREAS, field personnel and incident command center personnel need maps with
matching names on geographic features to coordinate emergency services.
