Coordinate error

[edit]

{{geodata-check}}

The following coordinate fixes are needed for Mt. Baldy. The location of this point is on a private residence located next to Baskett Slough National Wildlife Refuge, not within the boundaries of the refuge. There is no public access to the observation deck or the top of the hill indicated in this article, which is innacurately named Mt. Baldy. The coordinates need to be fixed so the hill pictured in the Wikipedia article is located in the correct place.

no Declined — Coordinates point directly to the hill marked as Mt. Baldy on USGS topographical maps and in satellite view you can clearly see the observation deck there. Click on the coordinates, choose "topo" under Acme maps to see the topo and then switch to satellite view and zoom in. It is clearly within the park boundaries and also identified as a "Wildlife Viewing Site" on the official park map which can be viewed through this U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service page. (If you're using Google Maps or Google Earth, they'll sometimes take you to the wrong place, even though correct coordinates are passed to them by Wikipedia. Try Acme or Wikimapia instead.) — TransporterMan (TALK) 22:26, 15 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
