<div id="ygrps-yiv-1614481887">nice new find jack<br/>
& i have surely blown right past there many times<br/>
& must have missed it narrowly during my earliest mound tries <br/>
in this area circa 1998 <br/>
as well as last year again when i was looking for the ghost of <br/>
oktahatko very close by<br/>
<br/>
& just to pile up all our ellicott mound discoveries in one place <br/>
for the benefit of future seekers<br/>
my own findings in this area as reported in real time are mainly <br/>
buried in messages 8454 8868 8899 8902 8916 9171 9185 & <br/>
9607<br/>
<br/>
plus there was a report of the terminal mound <br/>
supposedly almost in sight of alflga<br/>
which i have however also sought & missed<br/>
<br/>
plus there is the ellicott mound on flga<br/>
in the okeefenokee swamp<br/>
called ellicotts mound in that case<br/>
& which i have also tried & missed<br/>
<br/>
nowadays <br/>
ellicott mound<br/>
gets about 44 hits on google<br/>
but it wasnt always that way<br/>

&gt;       Marker Text:  <br/>
&gt;       On October 27, 1795, the United States concluded the <br/>
 </span></blockquote>Treaty of San Lorenzo with Spain, establishing 31 north latitude <br/>
as the boundary between its southern territory and West Florida. <br/>
Despite Spanish delays, commissions representing the two <br/>
countries began the eastward survey at the Mississippi River. <br/>
They passed this point in August 1799, and continued to the <br/>
Chattahoochee River. They later abandoned the boundary survey <br/>
east of the river due to persistent Indian attacks. The 381 mile <br/>
survey became known as Ellicott&#39;s line in reference to Andrew <br/>
Ellicott, surveyor for the U.S. commission. <br/>
