Hi all, A week or so ago I posted info regarding the G. P. Stout historical maps available from Carolina Maps by Mail. Well, I ordered the one which appeared to be the most promising for my current activities and it arrived today. I was expecting to be disappointed and I was. A very overly priced map and of less benefit to me than my existing Quadrangle maps. Hope others are more pleased if they order. Lack thereof: Solid or dotted lines on a piece of paper indicating county boundaries don't tell me diddle-squat. Neither does verbiage with outdated or weak reference points. I'm really trying to determine the 1828 Macon County, NC boundary lines with special emphasis on the Haywood/Macon boundary line. Can anyone help with this verbiage (comments/questions in parens are mine)? ...Beginning on the Tennessee line, on the extreme height of the Great Smoky Mountain; (This would be Clingman's Dome?) Thence along the main summit of a ridge that divides the waters of the Oconaluftee River from those of Deep Creek, (This would be NE of Clingman's Dome down Thomas Ridge to Newton Bald?) to the head waters of Newton's Mill Creek; (today one of these two creeks: Indian Creek or Coopers Creek. Which one?) thence down the said creek to Tuckaseega River; (Down Indian Creek to Deep Creek to Tuckasegee at Bryson OR down Coopers Creek to Tuckasegee at Ela, east of Bryson City. Which one?) thence up the main channel of the river to the first main fork above the mouth of the Cany Fork of said river; (Follow Tuckasegee through Whittier, Wilmot, Webster; past Wayehutta Creek on the left or North, past Cullowhee, past East Laport, past Caney Fork Creek, to the community/town of Tuckasegee? Also, tell me again which way the Tuckasegee flows...from Bryson City to East Laport...or East Laport to Bryson City? Okay, I stop here without any further guessing.) thence along the ridge dividing the forks of said river to the top of the main blue ridge, which divides the eastern from the western waters..... ................... Can anyone help me out with this before I go any further and end up in China? How much of the above is correct and where did I go astray? "Up the channel" seems to clash with my understanding of "down" the Tuckasegee. Help and Corrections please. Thanks, Gene
