02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Feira de Santana is GeoNames ID 3463478. Its recorded administrative path is Feira de Santana → Bahia → Brazil, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Feira de Santana occurs once as a primary city label in this atlas sample; the numeric ID remains the durable source key if names change. The city row itself was updated 2026-07-14; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.

This pattern can reveal whether other catalog references are geographically close, but it cannot establish whether a border crossing is possible or practical, or whether rail, road, fare, or journey-time connections exist. Read as one record signature, GeoNames 3463478, the coordinate pair 12.2667 / 38.9667, country rank 35 of 48, and neighbor GeoNames 3450554 at 94.229 km bind Feira de Santana to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Feira de Santana's reference point is 12.2667° south and 38.9667° west. The IANA identifier America/Bahia is shared by 2 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. Feira de Santana's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Feira de Santana's point falls in the near-equatorial coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Feira de Santana's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Feira de Santana, so the profile preserves that missing value instead of guessing terrain. Together these fields form a reproducible identity check for this page, not a claim about walkability, climate or accessibility.
