Coordinate error

Latest comment: 14 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

{{geodata-check}} The coordinates need the following fixes: North 38deg 55' 47.45" _West 78deg 50' 03.09"

This unincorporated community has been centered on this general area since the late 1800's or early 1900's. The community is at the intersection of Route 259 and Lower Cove Road. Since this location is included in maps that are associated with Ancestry and Family Tree, it would be nice to keep the historical association. The current location may be associated with a zip code or some special interest group. Historically this has been a farming community and for a many years it was a factory town with a tannery. It did have a Post Office in a local store when my grandfather lived in the community. My father could drive along Route 259 and say cousin as he passed each farm or house and be right most of the time.

Google Earth has the town correctly identified and located.

It appears to me that the coordinates that you recommend match those that are already in the article (and which indeed are those of the intersection of Route 259 and Lower Cove Road). Could you be clearer about what you think the error is? Deor (talk) 15:26, 11 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
