and yesterday I learned the river has moved. no shit. 55 years of living near it --- I could have told a few in the room that fact. well, it's moved enough that my property line may/may not extend into Hazard County (Le Sueur) ..wtf. Fortunately (unfortunately) -- there is a US Hwy between I, and said meandering river and the property line.
Fascinating stuff about the original land surveys/cornerstones/plotting -- in 1854. Mind you -- there was no GPS or GIS mapping available.
Happy Hump Day.

That happened near Abergavenny with the River Wye in the 1800s I think...the boundary between two huge estates is the middle of the river. When the river changed course about two hundred yards across the flood plain, one estate lost,the other profited!
