In-repo gazetteer
Alaska gazetteer
Static detail pages for discovery and SEO, plus a client-side explorer (map + search) over published JSON — no server required. Dataset grows via build-time ingest; this is the first vertical (lakes).
Feature types
Same URL patterns as alaska.guide: /{type}/{letter}/ for A–Z indexes and /{type}/{slug}/ for detail (e.g. /mountains/w/, /village/douglas/).
- Lakes Lakes index & explorer Under
/gazetteer/lakes/+ JSON explorer. - Mountains /mountains/{letter}/ Alphabetical index + detail pages.
- Bays /bays/{letter}/ Bays & coves by letter.
- Villages /village/{slug}/ e.g. Douglas, Napaskiak.
- Towns /town/{slug}/ e.g. Killisnoo.
- Birds /bird/{taxon}/{slug}/ Species pages + town sighting lists (e.g. Seward).
Public JSON feeds
Same objects as static pages — for maps, search, or downstream indexes. Large files (multi‑MB) are normal for full GNIS-backed sets.
Partner routing stays on /maps/ (TrueTopo) and /fishing/ (AFCA). Architecture notes for contributors: docs/gazetteer-architecture.md in the repository.
