Makes since, it put me at the location of the CO where my DSL terminates on first try.
A second try via a different internet connection centered me up on that CO's

It's using the long lat info returned from RDNS on an IP trace back as its first

You are correct the sandia.gov addresses are all flagged as"
Location Albuquerque (35.083N, 106.650W) based on a forward DNS lookup of their rDNS

As ATT DSL points to: Columbus (40.100N, 83.017W)
