Rename

I'm proposing renaming this greticule. [are named based on the largest or most well known place located within them] I think Wheaton Springs has a couple of houses in it. A brief check could not reveal it's population.

  • Primm, Nevada Population 2k, central to graticule. I argue this is the most-well-known place mostly in the graticule (Mojave, Las Vegas, and Henderson are mostly in other graticules)
  • Anthem, Nevada Population 8k, mostly just a suburb of Las Vegas, most people haven't heard of it. I argue this is the largest place (by population) that is mostly in the graticule.

So, I'll give some other people a chance to weigh in, but I think I'm the most active person in this graticule ever, so maybe I'll just claim I am consensus. McKay (talk) 18:53, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
