& what you add about the possibility of folk allocation may be true<br/>
but the official town of richland map & the usgs topo do at least agree on adri <br/>
all the way from adcori to the first supposed adri turnpoint & beyond<br/>
so the folk who did this allocation must have included the tax collectors of the 2 towns<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
still sleeping on it tho<br/>

&gt; &gt; haha thanx nice play<br/>
&gt; &gt; & very revealing<br/>
&gt; &gt; for if<br/>
&gt; &gt; as the article seems to indicate<br/>
&gt; &gt; only a single new geodesic segment has resulted from<br/>
&gt; &gt; the survey correction<br/>
&gt; &gt; which is admittedly still a big if<br/>
&gt; &gt; then the point you have evidently discovered upon this<br/>
&gt; &gt; segment would indeed establish a range of distances<br/>
&gt; &gt; for the displacement from the old adcori to a new<br/>
&gt; &gt; adcori<br/>
&gt; &gt;<br/>
&gt; &gt; & since the article says 2 houses have been thrown<br/>
&gt; &gt; into adams & 5 into richland by the change<br/>
&gt; &gt; then it follows further that neither extant terminus<br/>
&gt; &gt; could have been used for the correction segment<br/>
&gt; &gt; but that the southern terminus must have been shifted<br/>
&gt; &gt; far enough to the southeast along the extant boundary<br/>
&gt; &gt; to somehow include those 2 houses<br/>
&gt; &gt; & that the northern terminus must therefore have<br/>
&gt; &gt; pivoted correspondingly to the northwest of your found<br/>
&gt; &gt; point<br/>
&gt; &gt;<br/>
&gt; &gt; now again<br/>
&gt; &gt; any of these assumptions could be mistaken<br/>
&gt; &gt; but if they are all correct<br/>
&gt; &gt; then the turnpoint to the south of your discovered<br/>
&gt; &gt; point would have to lie somewhere on the next extant<br/>
&gt; &gt; geodesic segment to its south<br/>
&gt; &gt; & thus no farther south or east than the subsequent<br/>
&gt; &gt; turnpoint<br/>
&gt; &gt; as indicated by the cursor cross here<br/>

<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; &gt;<br/>
&gt; &gt; & this would then project the new geodesic segment<br/>
&gt; &gt; thru your found point to a new adcori no more than<br/>
&gt; &gt; about a quarter of a mile southwest of old adcori on<br/>
&gt; &gt; extant cori<br/>
&gt; &gt; or roughly no farther from old adcori than the cursor<br/>

&gt; &gt; since remember only 5 of all those black dots will<br/>
&gt; &gt; change from richland to adams<br/>
&gt; &gt;<br/>
&gt; &gt; indeed if we were trying to guess by just reallocating<br/>
&gt; &gt; black dots<br/>
&gt; &gt; which after all makes a certain amount of sense too<br/>
&gt; &gt; then the drift might only be about a quarter as much<br/>
&gt; &gt; as that<br/>
&gt; &gt; or to only about here<br/>
