Ah. I was wondering how this dataset got non-Euclidean geometries in its geospatial data.

I was hopping I had found the location of the green stone city of R'lyeh on the great sunken continent of Mu. But, no such luck. Instead, it was a badly escaped CSV file that shifted columns over in random places.
