Thanks Eugene. I have wondered around down there by the Eel
River and the last time I was there it was all a huge corn field. I
expect it to be in that huge farm, was just hoping someone could
direct me to a map where I could place it in relation to the current
road that goes through there. I found evidence of the old railroad as
well.
Appreciate your help.
