Module:Location map/data/USA Minnesota is a location map definition used to overlay markers and labels on an equirectangular projection map of Minnesota. The markers are placed by latitude and longitude coordinates on the default map or a similar map image.

Usage

These definitions are used by the following templates when invoked with parameter "USA Minnesota":

{{ Location map|USA Minnesota |...}}
{{ Location map many|USA Minnesota |...}}
{{ Location map+|USA Minnesota |...}}
{{ Location map~|USA Minnesota |...}}

Map definition

name = Minnesota
Name used in the default map caption

image = USA Minnesota location map.svg
The default map image, without "Image:" or "File:"
image1 = USA Minnesota relief location map.svg
An alternative map image, usually a relief map, which can be displayed via the relief or AlternativeMap parameters
top = 49.6
Latitude at top edge of map, in decimal degrees

bottom = 43.3
Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees

left = -97.4
Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees

right = -89.3
Longitude at right edge of map, in decimal degrees

Alternative map

The {{ Location map}}, {{ Location map many}}, and {{ Location map+}} templates have parameters to specify an alternative map image. The map displayed as image1 can be used with the relief or AlternativeMap parameters. Examples may be found below or in the following:
