These definitions are used by the following templates when invoked with parameter "Middle America":

• {{Location map|Middle America |...}}
• {{Location map many|Middle America |...}}
• {{Location map+|Middle America |...}}
• {{Location map~|Middle America |...}}

Map definition

• name = Middle America

  Name used in the default map caption

• image = Middle America location map.svg

• top = 32

  Latitude at top edge of map, in decimal degrees

• bottom = 6
