<div id="ygrps-yiv-870653741">Yes.  NMTX is 103° as surveyed by Clark in 1859, and NMOK is the Cimarron <br/>
Meridian (nominally103°, but still imperfect) as surveyed by Chaney and Smith of <br/>
the US GLO in 1881.  (The Public Land Survey in the three counties of the <br/>
Oklahoma Panhandle is measured from the Cimarron Meridian and its corresponding <br/>
Base Line, which is the northern boundary of Texas.)<br/>

&gt; The reason nmtx then turns east at the northern line of tx for three miles<br/>
&gt; until it reaches the ok n/s line is that north of tx, the 103rd meridian is<br/>
&gt; the ok panhandle west line. Yes? </span></blockquote></div>
