Follow up on National Park Information

I wanted to post as a follow up and to clarify what was found from the National Park documents. Included in those documents was a description for another parcel that belonged to Solomon Hensley, who owned Tract 47a. A map included shows that Tract 47a included Bush Mountain and areas south of it towards Roundtop Mountain.

I have uploaded that map here and used a red line to highlight Tract 47A's boundaries. The green lines I've drawn show parcel boundaries within that tract. You can clearly see a shape very similar to what we had calculated the shape of Frances Shiflett's parcel. The shape of the parcel to the west matches the description I received in the package from the National Park. The final, northern parcel, I do not have a description of, but it is the parcel that includes the summit of Bush Mountain. The map also shows some of the old roads that we attempted to follow on our hike two weeks back.
