Coordinate error

edit

{{geodata-check}}

The following coordinate fixes are needed for Superior Lake (California)

The current coordinates incorectly correspond to an area near Twentynine Palms, when in fact Superior Lake (California) is correctly described in Wikipedia [1] as being "40 km north of Barstow," although Wikipedia has the wrong geographic coordinates.

I just got back from a weekend at Superior Lake and speak from direct observation.

Coordinates for a point in the center of the largest dry lake: 35.238157, -117.113601

Another manner of expressing the same location is 35°14'17.4"N 117°06'49.0"W

I see that you've changed the coordinates yourself. Thanks for correcting the error. I have, however, tweaked your coordinates to point to the easternmost of the dry lakes, since that is what is labeled "Superior Lake" on the USGS topographic map of the area. (The revised coordinates also correspond to those given in the external link in the article.) Deor (talk) 10:25, 8 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
