FEDERAL LAWS In addition to the ARPA Laws, an additional Federal law called "Abandoned Shipwreck Act of 1987" is in effect and is being enforced. This law gives the individual States control over historic shipwrecks lying within 3 miles of the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts and 10 miles off of the Gulf Coast.
DISTANCE MEASUREMENTS NOTE: All distance measurements for sites are direct from point A to point B and are NOT road measurements. Distance measurements are taken from the center of one point to the center of the center of the other. Linear measurements are usually accurate to one tenth mile (1/1 oth mile) while Latitude and Longitude coordinates are accurate to one thousandth of one minute, which equates to approximately 30 feet, depending on the accuracy of your GPS.
WHAT IS A GHOST TOWN? There have been many inquiries as to how we have determined what establishes the parameters for ghost town status. While the dictionary definition is not satisfactory for our usage, Mosquito Publishing has used the following:
That a town or settlement was at one time a thriving and viable community. That it subsequently declined to the point that it was virtually abandoned or deserted.
It was a rule of thumb that communities were established on good land. That being the case, even though the original town may have declined to ghost town status, as modern communities expand, they often cover the site of the previous settlement. This occurrence is happening more rapidly as our population expands. The site would still be considered as a ghost town site, even if covered by modern construction and no visible signs of the original town exists.
