I think they may have some links for something like that. GNIS will give you the lat/long for known features. Tiger maps has the ability to input longitude/latitude. http://mapping.usgs.gov/ http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/tigermap.html http://tiger.census.gov/cgi-bin/mapbrowse-tbl Connie

I have a land patent which only has township, range, and section -- I want someone to convert that to longitude & latitude for me! Regards, Elsi
