The one that got a bunch of press last year was a farm in Kansas, at the geographic center of the USA, rounded off a bit. Was being used as the default location for "we know this is in the USA but not where" by MaxMind. (Since changed to a lake.)

I saw this a lot in this project - if the geolocation database thinks the computer is at the geographic center of Russia, and my measurements tell me that it's in Moscow, I should not count that as the measurement being off by several thousand miles.
