Would anybody out there be up for one of the most challenging map searches of ALL time?
Send me your email, ( shoganaik11rs@gmail.com ) and I'll send you a Google Earth file with the following and his diary enrty r/t this search.
1. All the Red lines are roads that existed on or before 1916
2. Orange lines are the same but lost
3. Blue are railroads
4. Dark blue is water
5. Blue drops are springs are water crossings
6. Yellow pins are historic (Hx) or current waypoints/locations such as towns, gaps or churches.
7. Blue pins are place mentioned in a 1916 travel book.
8. The big White V is the search area.
9. Other lines are county borders, 25 miles from Morristown, 8 miles (see diary) and US topo grid (White X)
10. ONE GREEN PIN, present day Sulphur Springs
I'm looking for a "Sulphur or Sulpher Springs" town 25 miles from Morristown. I suspect it has either ceased to exist or a present day community was once called that.
I'm looking for a road on his right as he traveled towards Morristown that lead up into a mountain hollow that ended at some springs north of the Yellow 25 mile line.
I'm beginning to suspect he crossed a ferry south of Bays Mountain, which one, I don't know, but the area near Wexler Bend is promising.
I've been looking for over 2 years, any help would be appreciated!
