<div id="ygrps-yiv-1679810522">I have no doubt that you&#39;ve correctly correlated the web image and the<br/>
aerial photo with the same houses; my confusion stems from the fact that<br/>
maps show the state line to be south of this agglomeration. On the<br/>
Terraserver image, for example, there is a road coming in at an angle from<br/>
the north and intersecting with US-101. That appears from the maps to be<br/>
Stateline Road. The maps show there are three E-W streets south of this<br/>
intersection before you get to the state line. They don&#39;t appear to occur on<br/>
the Terraserver photo until you get south of the two houses where you&#39;ve<br/>
placed the line.<br/>
<br/>
In addition, placing the line there puts part of abandoned Chrissey Airfield<br/>
in California (remnant visible in photo). This is an Oregon State Park; I&#39;m<br/>
not saying it&#39;s impossible for this southern end of the airstrip to be in CA<br/>
instead of OR, but I think it bears a bit more looking. I appreciate your<br/>
efforts and I guess I remain confused. I&#39;ll look into it again shortly when<br/>
I have more time.<br/>
<br/>
Thanks<br/>

&gt; Lowell, I am curious why you drew the line so that your presumed boundary<br/>
&gt; shows up somewhat north of where the web site author says it is.<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>I&#39;m not sure what the web site means to say.  On first view, I took its<br/>
description to refer to the large house near the beach and the &quot;crease in<br/>
the<br/>
trees&quot; running eastward beyond US 101.  I think that almost any reasonable<br/>
person would.<br/>
<br/>
However, all of my labors indicate that this house is clearly in California.<br/>
It<br/>
took a lot of complex comparisons of topo maps, aerial photos, and the<br/>
California Coast web site photos to figure it out.  I will try to give you<br/>
the<br/>
best evidence below.<br/>
<br/>
Attached hereto is an extreme close-up of the two buildings between which I<br/>
contend that the boundary runs.  Both are east of US 101.  This view looks<br/>
roughly west to east, with Oregon to the left and California to the right.<br/>
<br/>
Next, please go to <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://tinyurl.com/2h2kj">http://tinyurl.com/2h2kj</a> and scroll down to the aerial<br/>
photo<br/>
with grid coordinates on it.  US 101 bisects the photo north to south.  We<br/>
know<br/>
that BUS&SS fixes the terminal monument in latitude 41°59&#39;55.7&quot; twelve<br/>
chains<br/>
from the Pacific ocean.  Interpolating between the latitudes shown, and<br/>
allowing<br/>
for a slight variation from photographic parallax, etc., that would place<br/>
the<br/>
boundary along the first driveway from the bottom of the picture on the east<br/>
side of the highway.  Notice how this driveway curves slightly away from the<br/>
fence line down near the highway.  Notice also the house just north of this<br/>
driveway--how it&#39;s surrounded by hedges and has a very round, dark tree<br/>
(split<br/>
by a blue grid line) in its back yard.  Note that the building up the hill<br/>
to<br/>
the south of the driveway has a dark roof, and there are light-roofed<br/>
outbuildings in the cleared area in front of it.<br/>
<br/>
Now, go back to the attached photo, taken several years later.  The house on<br/>
the<br/>
left has its rows of hedges and its round, dark tree in the back yard.  Up<br/>
the<br/>
hill to the right is the building with the dark roof and what appear to be<br/>
mobile homes with light roofs in the clearing in front of it.  I contend<br/>
that<br/>
the boundary runs along the fence line on the north side of the driveway<br/>
near<br/>
the center of the picture.<br/>
<br/>
If you need even more confirmation, go to the topo maps and locate the<br/>
California inspection station just down US 101 to the south.  You can then<br/>
locate this on the corresponding aerial photos and the California Coast web<br/>
site.  (On Terraserver, you can toggle back and forth between topos and<br/>
corresponding aerials--except that the aerials go one step closer-in than do<br/>
the<br/>
topos.)  Once you have it on all three, work your way back northward,<br/>
comparing<br/>
the roads and houses on the west side of the highway.  You will see that the<br/>
boundary is well beyond the northern end of the subdivision.<br/>
