THE SIMPLE DOT ON A KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN CIRCLE MAP

[L.C. BAKER]

Would anyone care to share their experience decoding a stand alone dot or perhaps a big dot with a little dot beside it? These dots are inches apart on the O.A.K. map but in reality they are miles apart in some cases, and yards apart in others. Some we have identified as springs, but others still may have another meaning we have not accounted for. Any ideas thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, L.C.

Some dots or bowl looking dots have been '' water marks '' or '' mirror image '' meaning reverse.

Aka CUP-MARKS in Virginia; saw plenty of 'em "down" from Shenandoah National Park, top of a waterfall, years ago...

I have seen what you are talking about too, however these marks are no bigger than a dot on an "i" on a three inch map. Any ideas what they could mean?

Thanks, L.C.

L.C., it could help I suppose if you can post the arrangement. but if it would give too much away then don't..
It seems that most of what you post is a very special trail with signs not ordinarily used, and that is a treat plus harder to
figure out. how many nights sleep have you lost so far?

On plat maps from this part of the world circa 1880's, a dot will indicate a house.

HAHAHA! LMAO! I hunt this trail in my sleep! I find it next to impossible to ever quit trying to figure it out. Every little gain only leads to the next hurdle....

Yes that is very true...except at the time this map was made there were not enough houses to account for the dots.

Thanks for the input, L.C.

As far as the arrangement goes, they all stand alone in different areas on the maps. No rhyme or reason in the placement to the naked eye.

Houses on OLD map; not heavily populated area.

Exactly Rebel more dots than people. Some Indian Territory also may be involved and all it is on old maps is the outline of the perimeter of the specified Indian Territory. There is a match for two springs with two of the dots, but nothing further. Some properties have the same perimeters today as 150 years ago with the original locations of dwellings still used, but they don't match the dots. From what we have seen used for markers nothing as Temporary as dwellings have yet to be used. Hope this helps describe the situation better.

thanks for the help, L.C.
