FIPS Codes ...

In a past effort, various federal agencies created a set of codes with a purpose similar to the GNIS codes. These codes are called the Federal Information Processing Standard (or the FIPS 55 codes). Although they are still used by some organizations, the FIPS codes are obsolete and will ultimately be replaced by the GNIS codes.

The following FIPS codes apply to Pewaukee:

Since the Place and County FIPS codes are not unique and can be repeated in other States, it's necessary to combine the State code with the Place and County FIPS codes to uniquely identify them - for example:

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 Pewaukee, it is a point within Pewaukee 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 Pewaukee, the GNIS GPS location is given as:

Lat:   43° 4' 29"   (or 43.07°)

Lon:   -88° 19' 51"   (or -88.33°)  

Regional Codes ...

For statistical purposes, the US Census Bureau has divided the country into four Regions. Pewaukee is located in Region #2 (the Midwest Region).

In turn, the US Census Bureau has further divided each Region into Divisions. Pewaukee is located in Division #3 (the East North-Central Division).

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has created ten Federal Regions. Pewaukee is located in Region V (Region 5).

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has created ten Management Regions. Pewaukee is located in Region V (Region 5).
