Coordinates correct?

I am a little confused the coordinates currenting in the article are {{coord|40|39|33|N|79|05|33|W|display=inline}}, but this is just north of 296 and Helman road, miles north-east of what I am seeing as the coordinates for Center Township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, from a google search, which are south of 422 [https://www.google.com/maps/place/Center+Township,+PA/@40.5497362,-79.269819,12z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x89cb45ed7490ec1d:0xdf88117829c7d887!8m2!3d40.5551891!4d-79.2225576!16zL20vMF8wbHg?entry=ttu here]. It looks like the coordinates should be something like {{Coord|40|33|19|N|79|13|21|W|display=inline}}.

Perhaps I am missing something.–CaroleHenson (talk) 01:28, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

::Definitely an error. The GNIS lists several points within the township, one per USGS quadrangle. The best one appears to be {{coord|40|32|36.30|N|79|11|6.23|W|display=inline}}, which is close to the geographic center.{{Cite gnis|1216538|Center Township}} Ken Gallager (talk) 12:31, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

::I went ahead and updated the coordinates. It's strange that the township isn't in the center of the county. The History section doesn't explain it. Ken Gallager (talk) 12:40, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
