are the surprisingly interesting texts of the 1999 congressional markup & <br/>
hearing<br/>
which may have caused ksmone to move about 3quarters of a mile eastward on <br/>
new years day 2000<br/>
to the middle of the present channel of the missouri river<br/>
from the middle of its former channel in an oxbow lake<br/>
as may be observed in the details of this almost seamless montage of old <br/>
maps along the ksne line<br/>

the upper one of which actually anticipated the new position by several <br/>
years<br/>
& artfully hides the old position that was correctly indicated on the lower <br/>
map<br/>
<br/>
thats right<br/>
for many years usgs disagreed with itself about this tripoint on adjacent <br/>
quads<br/>
&<br/>
i still havent managed to verify whether the congressional ratification has <br/>
been completed<br/>
<br/>
but when i visited ksmone a few years ago<br/>
i made sure to commune with both the old & new positions<br/>
just to cover all bets for at least as long as the uncertainty lasts<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
also<br/>
in a rare instance of congressional consent to an interstate compact before <br/>
its technical completion<br/>
the same markup & hearing helped usher gascus to a definite position for the <br/>
first time by 2004<br/>
on the north edge of the savannah river shipping channel 3nm seaward of its <br/>
mouth<br/>
as can be observed in the details of this map<br/>

<br/>
this tripoint i unwittingly photographed from tybee island in march<br/>
as i was deliberately visiting gae to complete my news tour of georgia<br/>
the largest known entity btw ever to have been so toured<br/>
but again i am not sure if that tripoint had been fully ratified by that <br/>
time either<br/>
nor even if it has been yet<br/>
<br/>
as the pic looks like practically any beach in the world but eats over 500k<br/>
i will spare you the attachment & leave it & all the others of its kind to <br/>
your imagination<br/>
