Hello Traffic, and welcome to the forums.

There is no direct relationship between a specific Google data center and the results you get at google.com. The main SERP is often not to be found anywhere on any IP address. And you often are switched between different IP addresses at different times through Google's load-balancing.

There is clearly an "extra step" involved between the raw data sent from a Google IP address or datacenter, and what you see if you do the same search on a specific Google domain. What goes on in the final step is a bit of a mystery, but it surely does happen - we've got a thread running right now about [url=]Google ranking changing from country to country[/url].

So the answer is that no such list of datacenters by geography exists - or at least it will not give you what you hope. Google's technology is different than that.
