GPS Location - GNIS Coordinates ...An important aspect of the GNIS code is that it assigns a GPS location (the latitude/longitude) to the geographic feature. This location is simply a point on the map and does not represent the size or shape of the feature. In the case of Morgan Corners, it is a point within Morgan Corners that might be a post office, the city hall or simply an intersection - the point should really be considered arbitrary and only indicating a general location. For Morgan Corners, the GNIS GPS location is given as: Lat: 43° 14' 7" (or 43.24°) Lon: -85° 59' 16" (or -85.99°) Regional Codes ...For statistical purposes, the US Census Bureau has divided the country into four Regions.
