This month's navaid is in the United States. It previously was named after the nearby city, but was renamed (and given a different identifier) to avoid confusion with that city's airport. That city is known as a center of agricultural product processing. The VORTAC's name origin is unknown, but it is the plural form of a species of reptile.
