WARNING!!! THIS HAS NOT BEEN VETTED BY ME YET!!!! VERIFY ANY LEADS YOU MAY HAVE UNTIL I CAN VERIFY EACH LOCATION MYSELF!!!
Below is a straight-from-the-map inventory. I kept the spellings, punctuation, and capitalisation exactly as they appear on the graphic, then added a terse tag in italics describing what kind of place it is (city, state capital, national park, mountain peak, etc.). Multi-state features (e.g. ranges, rivers, Lake Tahoe) are listed with the state in which their label sits on the map.
