"total area of 2.7 km² (1.0 mi²). 0.9 km² (0.4 mi²) of it is land and 1.8 km² (0.7 mi²) of it is water. " How exactly does this work? 0.4 mi² + 0.7 mi² does not add up to 1.0 mi². I realize this is due to a round-off problem, but since the towm most likely was originally surveyed in miles, that total area measurement is mroe likely to be accurate- did these numbers get converted to square kilometers, then back to square miles?

This is a round-off problem. The total area probably is a little bit more than 1.0 square miles, maybe 1.04 miles (which was rounded of to 1.0). Maybe 0.37 square miles (rounded off to 0.4) is land and 0.67 square miles (rounded of to 0.7) is water. -- Robert Weemeyer 10:58, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
