<div id="ygrps-yiv-280290685">An ~15 degree angled proruption of Mineral cty into Nye/Churchill counties <br/>
in Nv.<br/>
Presumably Nye was one of the later-formed counties, and Mineral was left <br/>
with a mine (but no direct access to it) in the proruption?<br/>

<br/>
Another proruption at an acute angle is Humboldt cty between Pershing and <br/>
Lander.<br/>

Again, about 15 or 16 degrees. No obvious reason for it. But note the <br/>
north-west corner of the angle, which appears to be somewhat curved, and <br/>
not a crisp 90deg angle (north of the word Valley in Buffalo Valley)<br/>
<br/>
The highly staggered Lyon-Churchill County boundary is Nv is also <br/>
interesting, as nearly all other Nv county boundaries are straight, even if <br/>
at angles (ie Nye&#39;s boundaries). So why the staggers here?<br/>
