Nice. However, I thought Black Jack Springs Cemetery was on the other side of 609. Is Trinity Church the Trinity Lutheran Chrurch that merged with the Lutheran church at Swiss Alp and another Lutheranchurch?

Hi, Al. You've found at least one of the problems with the map. (Remember I said it is part of a beta test.) The things that are marked are from USGS surveys and not all of their data is correct. You are right about the Black Jack Springs Cemetery being on the other side of 609. You can actually see where it is on Black Jack Lane in the satellite and hybrid views. The cemetery that is marked is now known as the Pin Oak Cemetery. I can't asnwer your question about Trinity Church. I can't picture what's actually at that spot, but I'll check on it for you unless someone on the list has the answer now. As far as I know the Trinity Lutheran Church you mention was at the site of the Black Jack Springs Cemetery. I appreciate your pointing out these two sites and welcome any other questions/comments. When the map has been developed further, I'll be able to change these coordinates and mark other cemeteries once I have their coordinates. I may as well start collecting corrections now.
