OWEN/MONROE BOUNDARY Enright projected maps on the screen showing how the White River has meandered over the years in the northwestern portion of Monroe County. He talked about how, during the original survey done in 1816-1819, the boundary was established as the center line of the White River. The problem is that the river has moved over the years. There was a Legal Survey done in 1897 perpetuating the meander line of the old riverbed.
