Talk:Bryant Creek State Park

Location
For the purposes of setting the coordinates in the article infobox I used the directions in this article to select a location along County Road 337D near Bryant Creek at N 36.83857 W 92.43077. --Kbh3rd talk 21:37, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
 * That's close - from the info I have the farmhouse on the property is where the public meeting started earlier this month with guided tours following. From the county property maps and the Rockbridge USGS Topo I get 36° 49' 47" N and 92° 25' 39" W -- a bit south of your coords. That's a bit of WP:OR :) Anyway, yours are within the northern portion of the park and closer to Bryant Creek. The park extends south to the Douglas - Ozark county line. See this map from Ozark County Times. I missed the meeting on Jan 6, but hope to get down there and take some pictures soon. Vsmith (talk) 01:00, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
 * That's a great map to see. Move the coordinate to wherever you think best, of course.  Where's the best place on a area that's larger than 4 square miles?  The main park entrance if you know where that is or can find it would be a good candidate.  Otherwise maybe the intersection of those four survey sections in the middle.  I don't recall offhand how I set the point for those article stubs for state parks that I made some time ago, and I may not have been consistent. --Kbh3rd talk  21:42, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I georeferenced the map from that article in QGIS and found the centroid of the polygon describing the park, and that's where I moved the coordinates to in the infobox for now. --Kbh3rd talk 04:28, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
 * OK, that puts it in the sw 40 acre of section 30 at elevation ~900 ft. about 430 ft north of and 60 ft lower than Route N on top of the ridge and at the head of Major Hollow tributary to Bryant (from Rockbridge Quad). That should be good pending info from the state about an official location for the park entrance/headquarters.
 * I hadn't used QGIS - will have to investigate/play with it - looks like a fun tool, thanks. Vsmith (talk) 20:55, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
