shows the general location of the mentioned de jure logan yell county line<br/>
between its tripoints with pope & scott counties at upper right & lower left <br/>
respectively<br/>
see i showed & even mentioned them<br/>
but the specific location of all the fun is at center including the place <br/>
named crossroads<br/>
where the letter f in ozark national forest is just west of the written de <br/>
jure boundary between logan & yell counties as depicted<br/>
but east of the orally agreed & long established de facto boundary along the <br/>
ridge line mentioned in the article<br/>
<br/>
the area of overlapping or nongovernment can be seen up close here<br/>
between the huckleberry mountain watershed divide running from lower left to <br/>
upper right<br/>
& the county line as depicted at some remove from it at lower right<br/>

<br/>
<br/>
but here is a question<br/>
<br/>
since an oral agreement is just as real & binding as a written one<br/>
then isnt this supposedly de facto line really just as de jure as the <br/>
written one<br/>
<br/>
& being more recent than the written one yet still in long use<br/>
doesnt the oral line actually trump & supplant the written one in this <br/>
unusual case<br/>
<br/>
& of course now that this so called anomaly has come to light<br/>
they will probably amend the state constitution & the county charters <br/>
posthaste<br/>
to properly reflect reality<br/>
but in the meantime arent we really looking here at a preciously rare if not <br/>
unique case of an oral de jure boundary<br/>
