When using Python anad fiona
package to read a shapefile of Boston, I am getting very large values in the tens of thousands. Why is this?
# Import Boston shapefile
shapefilename = 'ZIPCODES_NT_POLY'
shp = fiona.open(shapefilename + '.shp')
coords = shp.bounds
shp.close()
Then running coords
gives the output
(33869.92130000144, 777617.2998000011, 330800.31099999696, 959741.1853)
