where the likeliest caus depiction crosses the<br/>
centerline of the best available seaway depiction<br/>
<br/>
this point was selected because it appears to<br/>
correspond as nearly as possible with the likeliest<br/>
nyonqc position <br/>
as shown on the canadian topo<br/>
& also because onqc very much appears to follow the<br/>
seaway centerline to this conclusion<br/>
<br/>
the position measures about 237 meters from the caus<br/>
turnpoint to its northwest aka turnpoint 1 <br/>
& about 824 meters from the caus turnpoint shown to<br/>
its southeast <br/>
albeit of uncertain ibs designation<br/>
<br/>
probably correct geocoords for turnpoint 1 are given<br/>
here by name in line 3 <br/>

while one set of probably correct coords for the other<br/>
terminus is given with the name of origin in line 1<br/>
there<br/>
& another set of nearly matching & equally probably<br/>
correct coords for it is given with the name of<br/>
terminus in the last line here<br/>

<br/>
in fact these latter 2 positions are between 2 & 11<br/>
hundredths of a second of longitude apart<br/>
& thus within the same 10 foot or 3 meter square<br/>
but i cant account for their difference nor guess<br/>
which is the more probable turnpoint<br/>
<br/>
but i do believe one of them really is the ellicott<br/>
rock & turnpoint<br/>
despite the geocoords given for the supposed mon<br/>
andrew ellicott<br/>
which btw i still cant account for<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
but in any case<br/>
adopting the stated coords for turnpoint 1<br/>
& averaging the mentioned 2 sets of likeliest coords<br/>
for the other turnpoint so as to hedge their already<br/>
scarcely significant difference & probable error<br/>
i still get<br/>
in nad83 <br/>
nlat45d00m22s6 x wlong74d40m13s9<br/>
&<br/>
nlat44d59m58s0 x wlong74d39m40s4<br/>
respectively<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
but now i need help for the spherical trig if any<br/>
<br/>
for the question has boiled down to<br/>
what is the geoposition of the point on caus that lies<br/>
237 meters from the former & 824 meters from the<br/>
latter<br/>
<br/>
anyone<br/>
<br/>
can i just average again or rather prorate the<br/>
degminsecs as if they were plane coords <br/>
& expect not to aberrate beyond my 10 foot or 3 meter<br/>
window<br/>
since we are only talking about a kilometer or so here<br/>
<br/>
i hesitate<br/>
but if i can<br/>
then voila<br/>
my present albeit still highly provisional best guess<br/>
is <br/>
nyonqc equals nad83 nlat45d00m17s1 x wlong74d40m06s4<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
& if not then please correct this if you can & would<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
but in any case i can scarcely wait to learn the legal<br/>
truth to check this guess against<br/>
& or to hear from the ibs why their coords & canadian<br/>
mapping are in fact right & american mapping wrong<br/>
as well as where they really think the ellicott rock<br/>
really is btw<br/>
& cant imagine such important public facts as these<br/>
will elude us for too much longer now<br/>
<br/>
so what a pitch of excitement already<br/>
<br/>
