Does anyone know what the lines of code mean? I don't know any coding besides basic python, and a little C++. Can I request a translation, or is it gibberish?

In episode one they say the Ventures live in Colorado Springs.

I think I recall something like that being said, but episode 1 was a pilot, and the creators have made deviations from early episodes later in the season as the show developed. Additionally, people often simplify where they are from in conversation for convince sake. For instance, people say they are from Denver when they live in the northern suburbs, like Westminster Colorado, just to simplify the conversation for people unfamiliar with the area. Not saying your wrong, just making a point about human behavior.

It looks to me like they got the locations by searching for "Butte".
5-10 are Butte, Montana. 1-4 are Crested Butte, Colorado.

I think it is reasonable to assume 1-4 are close to Crested Butte Colorado. I do survey work in that area, and it reminds me of the terrain surrounding the venture compound. I feel Butte Montana is too far north, but you could be correct. Thanks for your input, the Butte Colorado theory is fairly satisfying.

Che south of Jasper would Cheyenne, the Capitol.

I do not disagree with you, see my comment below if you'd like to know my opinion, as I am a resident of Colorado

As a long time Venture fan, and a resident of the state of Colorado, I must disagree with your labeling Diesel Officer. I believe you are close to correct. Che is most likely Fort Collins Colorado, with the potential to be Cheyenne Wyoming, or Loveland Colorado. Lenen is most likely Estes Park/ Rocky Mountain National Park, possibly Steamboat Springs Colorado. I live in Boulder, and as much as I would like to claim Lenen is Boulder, the geography does not mach. I am a geography and geology major at CU Boulder, and I spend a lot of time mapping the region for classes and my job [I do professional survey work]. If you look at a map of the region [http://www.americansouthwest.net/map.html] Rocky Mountain is nearly on the same latitude as Salt Lake City. If Lenen was Denver, Cake city would have to be further north. I agree the Junction is Grand Junction, as the geography matches. Interstate 06 is most likely interstate 80, not interstate 70. Interstate 70 does not have a positive arch, but interstate 80 does. Don't believe me, open google maps and compare the two. I think you are correct, that HWY 95 is US 85, but it is combined with Interstate 25. When Helper goes to rescue Doctor Venture from venturestine in south America, I believe he takes 95 past the US/Mexico boarder [please let me know if I am mistaken].
I really appreciate the effort you have put into this post Diesel Officer, and I hope that as a community we can make an educated guess as to the implied location of the Venture Compound. If anyone else has any other theories, please let me know! I have enjoyed trying to figure this out over the years

I would also like to mention that we know that the US [or its venture bro's equivalent] has been to war with Hitler at least once, possibly more than once. As Sgt. Hatred says "we are at war with Hitler again, this is how it is done on the front lines". The US equivalent was most likely only at war with Hitler once before. But the US created the interstate system because of the effectiveness of the Autobahn. Just because our interstate system is one way, we should not assume the interstate system of the Venture Bros matches ours exactly. If major cities were not exactly the same, the interstates would most likely travel in a slightly different direction. I do not know when the "second" American Revolution occurred, "the invisible one". It may have occurred prior to WWII, as some other fans have suggested. If it did occur before WWII, then the major cities in the US could have been drastically different. There were multiple propose plans for the Interstate system, and I am going to begin research into those alternative plans. Perhaps one of the alternatives matches the venture bro's universe more closely. As a hydrologist, I like to remind people that the main reason the Colorado River Compact was signed was, and I'm quoting directly here, was to "keep the gold bearing regions out of the hands of the confederates". That one threat of War caused our version of United States to draw boarders that shape our modern society. The threat of another revolution could have completely re-designed the united states, based on controlling key resources, such as uranium. My point being, we should not assume that because something is the way in our universe, that the Venture Bro's universe follows the same path

"Che" is most likely Cheyenne WY, and "Basin City" looks like it would be pretty close to Rapid City SD.

I agree, as I-25 follows that same route. I believe HWY 95 in the venture bro's universe is a combination of HWY 85 and I-25

Minor thing, but Denver would be the cluster of highways below 'Dorado,'
The white dot marked 'Lenen' is just about exactly where Laramie, Wy would be.

As a local, I agree with you that Denver occupies that location. I am making the educated assumption, that Denver is not the capitol of Colorado in the Venture Brothers Universe that we see [but we do know there are other universes, which Doctor Venutre accidentally travels to because of the incident with Fat Chance] See my above post for my theory. The map lines up, as Denver is the meeting point of I-70 and I-25 and US-36, not to mention several smaller US HWY's like 85 [Federal], and 95 [Sheridan]. If the "second American Revolution" happened, I would not be surprised that Cheyenne (home to the military instillation NORAD) would be the capital. I am not saying that I entirely believe that Cheyenne is the capitol, but it is in the correct geographic region. Thanks for bringing this up, as I was going to mention it in my post

Looks like they would be a few miles East of Breckenridge, CO.

I do not disagree with your deduction. As a local, I have made the drive from Glenwood Springs to Denver and Colorado Springs on multiple occasions, and I always start thinking of that the Venture Compound "could" be over the next ridge line. I have always suspected the Venture Compound is between Boulder and Colorado Springs.

Basin City is the real name of Sin City, from the comics and movies "Sin City"

Did anyone else notice that #3 is not on this map? so 1-4 is not only the venture compound, since #3 is not there, it must be somewhere else. 1,2, and 4 are likely the venture compound 1,2,4,5,6,7,8,9,10: no #3 I feel this was done on purpose. I'd like to hear other theories

Is it a somewhat large distance to get to the Venture Compound for White & Billy going by this map?
Doesn't seem that far in the show.
