The WTLC is to the south of the right-hand hill. Yes, I know east and west are flipped -- that happened in the great Snowplow Extra storm fix. The location will come up in a future story and I'll dream up an explanation. Maybe there was once a Turtle Lake to the east when the club was named, but Colonel Matson built a dam to raise the level which inundated the distinction, so the name held. Or something. -- Wes

Or something. > >-- Wes Wes: On both maps there are 2 lakes (called Turtle Lakes on the Spearfish Lake map). Are these different from what you have suggested - or did our mapmaker anticipate future history? If the WTLC were south and slightly west of the bottom point of the right hill shown on the RR map wouldn't that fit with your proposed location of the club? Brian Also, on the Spearfish Lake map there is a hill shown south & east of where 919 curves to the east which doesn't seem to be on the RR map.
