Coordinate error

[edit]

{{geodata-check}}

You have recorded that the "source" of the Catfish Creek near Dubuque, Iowa is at 42° 25′ 51.96″ N, 90° 48′ 37.44″ W. This is quite inaccurate. Those are the coordinates to a farm that is nearby a part of the stream, but no where near the actual source of Catfish Creek. Perhaps a couple numbers got switched around? I do not know the actual source of Catfish Creek, I am hunting that down right now. This is how I discovered the erroneous coordinates.

Judging by topographic maps of the area, the upper reaches of the creek are an intermittent stream having its source roughly at 42°25′28″N 90°48′36″W / 42.4244°N 90.8099°W / 42.4244; -90.8099, which isn't exactly "no where near" the location given in the article. Post the result of your research here, however, and I'll emend the coordinates. Deor (talk) 03:38, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
In the absence of a response from the OP, I've emended the source coordinates as I've indicated above, and I'm deactivating the {{geodata-check}} template. Deor (talk) 13:47, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
