Length discrepancy: 383 mi vs 350 mi, same EPA source
The article gives two different values for the maximum length of Lake Superior, and both are attributed to the same source (the EPA Great Lakes Atlas Factsheet #1). The infobox lists the length as 383 statute miles, while the "Geography" section states the "maximum length of 350 statute miles." The discrepancy is 33 miles (~9%), which is substantial and cannot be explained by different measurement methods since the same source reference tag is used for both figures. Could an editor consult the original EPA document and correct whichever figure is in error?
