Sounds about a good average.

For the OP, USGS official statement on this:

There is no generally accepted definition of geographic center, and no completely satisfactory method for determining it.

There’s no real reason for figuring out the middle of the country, aside from giving cartographers a point of reference and perhaps creating a tourist trap. It’s also an incredibly difficult mathematical problem to solve. As a matter of fact, the conclusion is forced upon us that there is no such thing as the geographical center of any state, country, or continent. The point determined will depend entirely upon the definition given by the one making the computation.

we shud go in the center dey an do some prayers yes. dig a well and let the vatican bless the water into holy water or let angoustaura open a refinery dey and get a different holy water.

This question really makes u think about how much the eastern half of Trinidad is mostly rural and under populated.

[daring dragoon]

judging from the maps and intersecting lines the center of Trinidad look like st marys junction freeport where the gas station and the church is. it also have the big statue of hanuman, maybe these sites were carefully chosen to build that church etc.
land in that area to be too expensive rite now. i go wait a couple years.
