This is a list of my graticule name suggestions. These names are not officially approved yet (as much as there is such a thing as official approval)... so if anyone has a comment please post it either after the name in question - or on the talk page if it's long and/or general!
Contents
70N and up
65-69N
65,33 - Engozero, Russia
- The largest town in the graticule by far (though admittedly close to the border). Also the largest lake in the graticule (probably much better known than the town).
65,34 - Kuzema, Russia
- The largest town in the graticule by far.
60-64N
55-59N
50-54N
40-49N
42,28 - Silistar Beach, Bulgaria
- There's several places named Silistar in this graticule - seemingly more than any other name combined in fact - but simply naming it Silistar (as I originally wanted) would've made it hopelessly confused with the much larger town of Silistra in the other end of the country. So one had to be chosen, and IMHO the beach is much more recognizable :-)
