Robert, Thanks for the information.

Section 11 is one square mile in area and, roughly speaking, runs from 6 to 7 miles east of Ash Flat and 0 to 1 mile north of Ash Flat. The SW 1/4 of Section 11 is a one-half mile by one-half mile area and contains 160 acres. The E 1/2 of this 160 acres would be 80 acres in area. It would start one-quarter mile east of the southwest corner of Section 11 and run east another one-quarter mile. It would run north one-half mile in each case. So roughly speaking, the area in question starts 6-1/4 miles east of Ash Flat and runs to 6-1/2 miles east of Ash Flat. The area runs north one-half mile from those two points. It would probably require a visit to the Sharp County Court House, or maybe a Sharp County Surveyor's office, to truly define the property. None of the above is guaranteed. There seems to be a gravel road running from the Highland area that would get you there. However, the road does not have a number so you would need a local map, which might be obtainable from a real estate agent. Anyway, take this road south almost exactly three miles and then turn east and go about a 1-1/2 miles until you pass a cemetery (Liberty Hill?) on the north side of the road. The area in question should be just east of the cemetery or maybe about half way between the cemetery and the Harold E. Alexander Wildlife Management Area. The property should be on the north side of this road.
