PS That diagonal Cal\Nevada border--is it a great circle, rhumb line, or what? If the former, then its compass bearing varies from end to end. If the latter, it isn't straight.
It's whatever the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey produce when you ask them for a "straight" line between two points. See the 1980 U.S. Supreme Court case "California v. Nevada", 447 U.S. 125, at http://laws.findlaw.com/us/447/125.html --Michael Kleber -- It is very dark and after 2000. If you continue you are likely to be eaten by a bleen.
