And, why does the U.S. Census Bureau say that Michigan has 38,192 square miles of Great Lakes surface area? http://www.census.gov/prod/2/gen/96statab/geo.pdf (page 227)
And, why does the U.S. Census Bureau extend the borders of counties out into the Great Lakes on their MSA maps? http://www.census.gov/geo/www/maps/msa_maps2008/msa2008_previews_html/cbsa_us_wall_1108.html |
