Problem here is that while IP is somewhat bound to physical location, the only registry which is central and at all accurate is only able to break down to the superblocks. Hexillion.com is the best I've found, but it's still looking at the whois databases. No major ISP's register WHERE they handed out that class C or class B to. The best you're going to get is the registrar of the netblock. Where it divides beyond that is anyone's guess. eg. Company A has some Class B IP block, which it then spreads primarily across its MAN, but then also to its other locations throughout the world. Traceroute will take you to the major hops, and a lot of ISP's will place City names in the in-addr.arpa addresses (eg. xxxx-chi-xxx.sprint..... is in Chicago, etc...)
