Where Can I Get Gene Name Annotations By Position

For a university project I need a file containing the gene names and their positions on the hg19 chromosome 1. For this reason I downloaded a .bed file from USCS containing entries such as

chr1    248457917   248458880   uc010pzj.2  0   -   248457917   248458880   0   1   963,    0
chr1    248436153   248437116   uc010pzi.2  0   -   248436153   248437116   0   1   963,    0,

However I believe these are USCS identifiers (they can map to gene names) and not gene names. How can I map these identifiers to gene names, or where can I download data containing gene names and their locations? I know very little about genetics, I have searched the USCS downloads page but I was not able to find anything.

Thank you in advance.
