Paul,
It looks good. It overlaps with Central IL area but that should be ok.
RGS says "so that would include areas that are not really hunted by our
group." where is not hunted???? :-)

Paul,
I think that looks OK. Probably some odd shape would be better to catch our primary area, but this is close enough. Like you said, we want to include our outlying SLAGA members, so that would include areas that are not really hunted by our group. What happens when Denali puts one in the northwest? We can't include them all so I think it gets the idea across of our general area.

http://www.geostl.com/SLAGATerritory_Modal.html Click on this link and tell me what you think. The issue is What is the SLAGA Territory?
At first, I was making a judgement call on what caches were in the Territory, to determine if it should appear on our New Caches page, Archived Caches page or Featured Cache section.
Then I write some code to take advantage of a 'Distance by Zip Code' calculation. The Territory is now based on a Zip Code of 63102 for a distance of 125 miles in all directions. This amounts to a circle with a 250 mile radius around the city of St. Louis (see the images in the link above).
A smaller circle would jeapardize Rolla and some parts of the Mark Twain National Forest from being in the Territory. But the current circle includes some parts of Illinois that, to be honest, most of us will never hunt for a cache.
