Talk:Marquesas Keys

The Marquesas Keys seem to be named after the Marquis of Cadereita (Cadreita?), a 17th-century Spaniard high official. He set up a camp on the island in c.1622 when trying to salvage the treasure of a Spaniard vessel lost to a gale, the "Nuestra Señora de Atocha". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.8.98.118 (talk) 11:44, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Exact areas
Where are the exact values for areas in m² coming from?


 * ... land area, according to the United States Census Bureau, is 6.58 km2 (2.54 sq mi) (exactly 6,579,703 m²), the water area 0.17 km2 (0.066 sq mi) (165,744 m²), giving a combined area of 6.75 km2 (2.61 sq mi) (6,745,447 m²),  ...

Given the imprecise nature of boundaries on sandbar islands, I find it extremely unlikely that anyone has ever actually measured to that precision, or that the same measurement still held true the next week.
