Coordinate error

edit

{{geodata-check}}

The following coordinate fixes are needed for The coordinates and bounding box surround only a part of Hillandale proper and mistakenly include a totally separate neighborhood labeled Knollwood. Hillandale proper is centered nearer to New Hampshire avenue, and includes the regions labeled Cresthaven, Hillandale Heights & Burnt Mills Knolls (but not Burnt Mills Hills), along with Hillandale Forest (which actually is only on the West side of Riggs Road, and south of Powder Mill Road), and Old Hillandale (north of Powder Mill Road, east of NH Ave and south of the FDA). The best description and map is on the website of the Hillandale Citizen's Association (http://www.hillandale-md.org/images/HCAboundaryMap.jpg)

I've changed the coordinates to be nearer the center of the area shown in the map you've linked. Note, however, that the bailiwick of the Hillandale Citizen's Association may not be identical to the boundaries of the Hillandale census-designated place as defined by the U.S. government.
