<br/>
The article focuses on the Campbells, of the newly divided house, but they are <br/>
unlisted.  It also mentions their neighbors on Solomon Run Road, the Rentons, <br/>
who suddenly find themselves entirely in Adams Township.  The Rentons are at <br/>
1247 Solomon Run Road, Johnstown.  Mapping that address on TerraServer produces <br/>
the red dot on this map:  <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://tinyurl.com/bk8ux">http://tinyurl.com/bk8ux</a> .  The house on the west side <br/>
of the road at that point is about 400 feet from the line shown.<br/>
<br/>
Of course, we don&#39;t know that the us2pa3ca4adcori tripoint was displaced at all <br/>
by the new survey.  The newfound error might have affected only the opposite <br/>
(southern) terminus of the Adams-Richland geodesic segment in question, which is <br/>
no tripoint at all.<br/>
<br/>
Might this be another one of those cases where you end up phoning the surveyor?<br/>

&gt; excuse my intrusion into your sunday evening if it is<br/>
&gt; that<br/>
&gt; because i have this amusing tale about a divided house<br/>
&gt; & a border change running thru it<br/>
&gt; <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.tribune-democrat.com/local/local_story_323235253.html?keyword=secondarystory">http://www.tribune-democrat.com/local/local_story_323235253.html?keyword=secondarystory</a><br/>
&gt; & i am not even sure if it involves a tripoint<br/>
&gt; so it is offered for your titillation to be sure<br/>
&gt; but also with a question of its multipunctual<br/>
&gt; authenticity<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt; this official map of richland township<br/>
&gt; <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.richlandtwp.com/map.html">http://www.richlandtwp.com/map.html</a><br/>
&gt; shows adams township to be her neighbor on the east<br/>
&gt; & conemaugh township their neighbor on the north<br/>
&gt; where the tripoint most likely to have been misplaced<br/>
&gt; since it was evidently a single survey line that was<br/>
&gt; afflicted<br/>
&gt; would be us2pa3ca4adcori<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt; the topo shows the presumably incorrect former<br/>
&gt; tripoint here<br/>
&gt; <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://topozone.com/map.asp?z=17&n=4468838&e=685555&s=100&size=l&datum=nad83&layer=DRG25">http://topozone.com/map.asp?z=17&n=4468838&e=685555&s=100&size=l&datum=nad83&layer=DRG25</a><br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt; but can anyone determine the tripoint displacement<br/>
&gt; range if any involved in this border change<br/>
&gt; from the data given in the article<br/>
&gt;<br/>
