Mapping the Village

Our Village has a name!  There were two names that we voted on- Queenstown, because we are all a Queen of something, and Owlsview, because of the owl- who is viewing us-  in the tree next to the village. Chocolatetown (the town layout is a lot like a Hershey bar) was another offering, but it was quickly decided that it didn’t really sound like a real town. So it was adapted into the town slogan- “The biggest chocolate bar with the sweetest nuts.” Needless to say, we are the nuts.

A vote was taken by secret ballot, and the winner is…

  Owlsview!  Everyone has to map their property and record the map at the land office in order to lay permanent claim to her land.

Maps had to be to scale, and have a key, and an accurate compass rose, as well as several other elements. Almost everyone had to make at least , but almost veryone has now produced an acceptable map.

Stella’s is probably the most beautiful of all, and was admired and recommended for posting by acclamation.

The post Mapping the Village appeared first on Sabot at Stony Point.
