ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Gazetteer

A gazetteer is like a big book or list of names and places. The names might be of people, but usually it's places like cities, towns, mountains, rivers, countries, and even oceans. A gazetteer might also list information about each place, like the population, elevation, type of climate, and more. It's helpful for people to look up the name of a place to find out more about it.
