Zhumadian

Source identity and administrative path

The source row behind Zhumadian is GeoNames ID 1783873. Its recorded administrative path is Zhumadian Shi → Henan → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat.

Zhumadian 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 2026-06-17; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.

Its recorded population is above Zhumadian's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 531 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Zhumadian's nearest-coordinate gap sits in the second quarter of atlas distances. 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 1783873, the coordinate pair 32.9839 / 114.0259, country rank 226 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1801934 at 65.651 km bind Zhumadian to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.

Coordinate, time-zone and class cohorts

Zhumadian's reference point is 32.9839° north and 114.0259° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Shanghai is shared by 291 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA2 is shared by 341 rows. Zhumadian's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels.

Zhumadian's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Zhumadian's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Zhumadian, 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.
