yikes
the 1934 & 1935 supreme court decisions are under
review by nj now too

wonder if they will button up when they find the
mistake was in their favor
hahaha



& i also have to wonder
did these decisions freeze the boundary in 1935
or is it still subject to wander about with accretions
to the mean low water line
as one might otherwise expect

for if you compare the present topos
especially in the denjpa vicinity
where the cumulative accretion of the mean low water
line is most extreme
as indicated by the dotted tidal flats here
http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?z=18&n=4405613&e=464836
to the pre1934 topos
for example
http://historical.maptech.com/getImage.cfm?fname=cstr98sw.jpg&state=PA
you will see that the tidal flats have moved about
quite a bit
& have specifically advanced quite some distance
toward denjpa from the arc terminus that was set at
the mean low water mark in 1934 or 1935
then only 450 feet from marker 1
as compared to about 4 times that distance here on the
latest topo
