Your welcome for the knife design, CRK does the hard work of producing it at a very high quality. We both consider this to be the highest honor we could have as knifemakers.
Take the knife down and use it, we will fix whatever you can do to it.

Sounds thin.
Check the date on the maps. Most are decades old, so what was true then, may not be true when you are looking at the map. I have seen horizontal data as old as 1935 on issued maps.
