the triangle & tripoint displacement can be easily
visualized here
http://topozone.com/map.asp?z=18&n=3941172&e=244815&s=50&size=l&datum=nad83&layer=DRG25
where the red cursor cross is fairly centered in the
triangular area


also of possible interest to anyone who ever has
occasion to measure usgs topos on a computer screen
for any reason
i was able to confirm something i have long wondered
about
while measuring the triangle legs on this one
just to make sure i had identified the correct area
from the acreage given in the article
which is that
my squared error turned out to be about 3 percent
producing a simple error factor of under 2 percent

& that is a far greater level of possible accuracy
than i was previously willing to suppose
