File:Philpott Dam, planning map, below 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 some detail of the area about a mile below the junction of the Goblintown Creek where it feeds into the Smith/Irwin river. The Smith River runs from the left of the image out to the right of the image. The image is oriented so that North is to the left.

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." In this image, the area about a mile below the junction is visible, but the detail is not clear.

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