Can Trump just order new names for Denali and the Gulf of Mexico? A geographer explains who decides what goes on the map

^{Published on 2025-01-24 18:40:48 - MSN}

President Donald Trump's executive order to rename the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska's Denali, the tallest peak in the country, has resulted in lots of discussion. While for some, such renaming might seem less important than the big problems the country faces,

The article discusses the process and authority behind renaming geographical features in the United States, focusing on the potential renaming of Denali and the Gulf of Mexico by former President Trump. It explains that while the President has significant influence, the actual renaming process involves several steps and key players. The U.S. Board on Geographic Names (BGN) is the federal body responsible for standardizing geographic names, but presidential directives can bypass this process. For instance, President Obama renamed Mount McKinley to Denali in 2015, bypassing the BGN. However, renaming the Gulf of Mexico would be more complex due to its international implications and the involvement of multiple countries. The article also touches on the historical context of renaming, the public and political reactions, and the potential for future changes under different administrations, highlighting the balance between executive power and established naming conventions.
