The Lake From Lincoln Township

Ron Shawley photographed the Raystown Lake country in the first week of November 2014 and gave the whole series one caption: Raystown lake Region late Fall. It names no township, and it did not need to - the file carries the coordinates the camera recorded, and the Census places that point in Lincoln township.

Checked against the record. Same series and same caption as the Marklesburg photograph; the coordinates on this one fall in Lincoln township, which is how the two were told apart.
