<br/>
<br/>
There&#39;s lots of evidence of map screw ups around here.  New Hampshire and<br/>
Vermont both have a fair number of what we call gores (I don&#39;t know if that&#39;s a<br/>
standard term or not).  They are places that aren&#39;t in any of the towns.  When<br/>
the old &quot;20 paces from the old oak to the stone wall, then straight to the red<br/>
mill&quot; kind of boundaries were turned into something more concrete they ended up<br/>
missing some spots.  The most recent one was found only about a decade ago when<br/>
someone contested his tax bill.  They surveyed and found out he wasn&#39;t in<br/>
either of the two towns!  Of course they quickly put him in one, can&#39;t have<br/>
someone avoiding taxes, but some of them are large enough that they&#39;ve been<br/>
left as stand alone areas.  No wars over them yet though (&lt;:.<br/>
