The New Orleans Graticule

New Orleans is split among 4 graticules NW (30,-90) NE (30,-89) SW (29,-90) SE (29,-89). Because all 4 graticules contain large amounts of water (Lake Pontchartrain and the Gulf of Mexico), whenever it comes time to choose a location suitable for meeting, the closest to New Orleans that is not located in a body of water should be chosen.

Neighboring Graticules

Natchez, MS McComb, MS Hattiesburg, MS Citronelle, AL
Baton Rouge New Orleans, LA Mobile, AL
Morgan City Gulf of Mexico
Gulf of Mexico Gulf of Mexico Gulf of Mexico Gulf of Mexico
