Comments on the location information

  • Political location in record is Sanders. However, lat/long plots 380 m inside adjacent Lincoln county. Original coordinates were: lat/long NAD27 48-11-19N 115-56-26W (48.1886 -115.9406); UTM N5337587 E578743 Z11N; PLSS line# 1: Meridian- Montana Principal, TWNSHP 028 N, RNG 034 W, Sect 14, Sect_fract C. PLSS coordinates agree with lat/long and county of Lincoln. This record has no references. MRDS contains 3 other similar records nearby, one with an identical name, also J-F..., and J.F... on both sides of the county line. So Lincoln county was added and promoted to first place.
