<div id="ygrps-yiv-560811076"><div>
<div>my&nbsp;ongoing try for&nbsp;a first arizona tricounty point visit class a</div>
<div>has&nbsp;settled on&nbsp;&amp; continues to focus on maricopa county because of&nbsp;her relatively high population density &amp; development&nbsp;level &amp; the&nbsp;relative accessibility&nbsp;of her corners</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>but after a&nbsp;virtual perambulation &amp; closer look at all&nbsp;her tripoints on topozone i have to report that any&nbsp;apparent or presumptive advantages&nbsp;she may have had have actually not born any monumental&nbsp;fruit&nbsp;at all yet &amp; dont look like they&nbsp;necessarily will</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>of lamaya you already know the&nbsp;most likely particulars</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&amp; traveling from&nbsp;there clockwise or eastbound along maya&nbsp;to the gila tripoint at gimaya&nbsp;</div>
<div><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://topozone.com/map.asp?z=12&amp;n=3762509&amp;e=454106">http://topozone.com/map.asp?z=12&amp;n=3762509&amp;e=454106</a></div>
<div>thru&nbsp;the&nbsp;continuous or discontinuous sequence&nbsp;of 30 numbered corner markers&nbsp;</div>
<div>of which quite a few are missing from the topo&nbsp;as number 2 was but may&nbsp;still be recovered too</div>
<div>i&nbsp;find&nbsp;gimaya is depicted as the unmarked trijunction of&nbsp;a ridge line&nbsp;convergent on giya &amp; the&nbsp;continuous maya &amp; gima geodetic convergents&nbsp;that fall between&nbsp;maya marker 30 &amp; gima marker 31 </div>
<div>evidently&nbsp;of the same continuous original series begun at lamaya</div>
<div><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://topozone.com/map.asp?z=12&amp;n=3762509&amp;e=454106"></a>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>of course gimaya&nbsp;might be&nbsp;marked by a corner&nbsp;marker number 30a that isnt shown on the topo</div>
<div>but if so that remains to be demonstrated</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>next continuing along gima comes pinal </div>
<div>so thats gimapi </div>
<div><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://topozone.com/map.asp?z=12&amp;n=3703067&amp;e=496106">http://topozone.com/map.asp?z=12&amp;n=3703067&amp;e=496106</a> </div>
<div>or maybe i should&nbsp;say eccentrically gimapin&nbsp;to distinguish her from&nbsp;pima who is coming next&nbsp;</div>
<div>yikes</div>
<div>but again </div>
<div>this one too is depicted as unmarked</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>pima comes next continuing along mapi </div>
<div><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://topozone.com/map.asp?z=12&amp;n=3597403&amp;e=386888">http://topozone.com/map.asp?z=12&amp;n=3597403&amp;e=386888</a></div>
<div>so thats mapipi </div>
<div>yikes </div>
<div>or mapimpin </div>
<div>yikes again </div>
<div>&amp; tho i dont know which name is worse</div>
<div>fortunately she is not far from kaka </div>
<div>which gives a little cover</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&amp;&nbsp;this one&nbsp;too is shown as unmarked </div>
<div>tho her location does offer hope of&nbsp;a public land survey corner pin</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>in fact the only maricopa tricounty hope i have found for class a</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>continuing west along mapim to yuma county</div>
<div>mapiyu or mapimyu is reached</div>
<div><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://topozone.com/map.asp?z=12&amp;n=3598932&amp;e=280711">http://topozone.com/map.asp?z=12&amp;n=3598932&amp;e=280711</a></div>
<div>&amp; the atwood 113d20m long line is regained&nbsp;</div>
<div>but no marker is shown</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>worse yet </div>
<div>the freakin corner isnt flush but appears to jog significantly</div>
<div>oops</div>
<div>but i will get back to that after i&nbsp;close the perambulation</div>
<div>by simply continuing north now along mayu to lamayu</div>
<div>where again no marker is shown</div>
<div>&amp; finally&nbsp;looping the loop&nbsp;by following&nbsp;lama from there to lamaya</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>now</div>
<div>the 113d20m atwood line from which i began &amp; along which i have&nbsp;also closed the perambulation</div>
<div>&amp; which is supposed to have been run continuously in 1918 from the santa maria river to the mexican border does not in fact appear have been marked that way </div>
<div>if the sequence of 51 markers running north from near mapimyu thru lamayu to near lamaya are its production</div>
<div>a&nbsp;detail which i cant yet verify</div>
<div>since these could of course be a later series too</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>but there are no markers at all shown by usgs anywhere along pimyu</div>
<div>the southernmost leg of the 113d20m atwood line</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>not at the mapimyu point &amp; jog </div>
<div>&amp; not even at the mexican border</div>
<div><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://topozone.com/map.asp?z=12&amp;n=3547131&amp;e=279316">http://topozone.com/map.asp?z=12&amp;n=3547131&amp;e=279316</a></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&amp; how the heck did that jog creep in there anyway </div>
<div>if all this is supposed to be so rigorously atwoodian</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>did he himself&nbsp;introduce it</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>indeed is there any evidence that he himself set anything more than an initial rock at 34 lat </div>
<div>&amp; that&nbsp;anything else we find on his line is his actual doing</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>i havent found any yet</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>so anyway</div>
<div>i dont know where to continue on to from here</div>
<div>but if anyone notices a hotter tricounty marker prospect anywhere in arizona than&nbsp;has been&nbsp;identified at mapimpin aka&nbsp;kaka </div>
<div>my last maricopa chance if any</div>
<div>would they please let me know</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>or bag it themselves</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>thanx &amp; beeps</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
