Geographical Center
The "Geographical Center" refers to the point that is equidistant from all the outer boundaries of a given area. This concept can apply to various scales, such as a country, state, or even a continent. For example, the geographical center of the contiguous United States is often cited as being near Lebanon, Kansas.
Calculating the geographical center involves determining the average latitude and longitude of all the points within the area. This point may not always correspond to a significant location, but it serves as a useful reference for understanding the spatial distribution of a region.
