substantial fraction of that 22 months. <br/>

 </span></blockquote>Thanks... inspired by your ability to find the dates on those, I <br/>
poked around on the web and found the Nevada legislation on county <br/>
boundaries. Interesting stuff. In california, most county formation <br/>
stopped about 100 years ago, too. I wonder if the importance of <br/>
county boundaries (and thus the gradual decline of changes in same) <br/>
is linked with the rise of better transportation and communication <br/>
networks.<br/>
