with luck the attached experimental scan from the recorded plat of the
official vawv survey which arrived in the mail today will zoom in further
from this best available topo depiction
http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=39.323&lon=-77.718&symshow=n
to the purported new mdvawv position on the bank of the potomac

if the image is visible look for point 6292
which supposedly corresponds to the geocoordinates mentioned yesterday
tho i am still crunching numbers & triple checking them further
as well as waiting til next week for the 2 other bits of missing info also
mentioned yesterday

however in the meantime it is clear from the visual
whether you can see it yet or not
that the terminal mete reaches the terminal bound at the only point where
the water line adopted by the survey corresponds exactly also to the tree
line
as depicted by the scalloped line in the plat
a curious coincidence which i will also ask about next week

moreover it appears the ridge line per se has been completely rationalized
into a series of 291 completely geodetic lines joining 292 points monumented
by only 30 boundary markers

in contrast to the roughly contemporaneous ellis island survey
this vawv line utilizes loxodromes of integral degminsec & courses in
hundredths of a foot & is thus ten times coarser in both regards
while nevertheless maintaining the superfine 5 decimal places of degminsec
in the geopositioning
so the accuracy level could be spurious

indeed it seems the closer we get to the truth here
the more questions & possible holes there are
yet all in all i would already say mdvawv has never looked better
