File:Philpott Dam, planning map, Goblintown Creek junction.jpg

Picture taken at the Bassett Historical Center from a map they had on display. It dates from the period in which the Philpott Dam was being planned. It shows the expected water line and outlines for nearby pieces of property. Many of the properties are marked with acreage and owner. Blue area is expected to be underwater, while brown is expected to be above water. I do not recall the exact meaning of the red, outer boundary. Possibly something like the most extreme possible boundary for the lake, or land belonging to, or affected by, the project.

This section shows the junction of the Goblintown Creek where it feeds into the Smith/Irwin river. The Smith River runs from the top of the image down and then out to the right of the image. The Goblintown Creek is harder to see, but the lake boundary around it is easy enough to identify. It begins on the left of the image and then flowed into the Smith River on the upper-right portion of the image.The image is oriented such that North is up.

In his will, John Turner described a piece of land that he left to his daughters Jemima Turner and Mary Turner as "a piece of land on Smith River where I did formerly live on south side of river about one mile below the mouth of Goblintown Creek."

It is hard to read in this photo, and there is glare. The map is also fading.
