I remember years ago when I went to Missoula to audit classes at the University, and discovered that one of the State's official maps would show anyplace where two people lived as a "town." That was really an eye opener. Of course, people there used the Greyhound bus as their mail carrier, too...and no, folks, it wasn't in the "olden days." It was just a couple of decades ago.
