   Note: The geographic coordinates are originally from the Department of
   Commerce publication of 1947: "Air-line Distances Between Cities in the
   United States" and from data supplied by the National Geodetic Survey
   and converted to the reference system of North American Datum 1983
   using the National Geodetic Survey's NADCON program. The coordinates
   are determined by using the first city mentioned as the center of the
   urban area.
