Location Coordinates

[edit]

I do not know where the coordinates (39°25′2″N 76°51′26″W) for the Thistle Manufacturing Company were sourced from, however they are very inaccurate! The correct location coordinates are (39°15'07.5"N 76°45'54.6"W) or (39.252073, -76.765160) (Comment: It looks as though the decimal GPS location was inserted for degrees-minutes-seconds format for geographic coordinate conversion), near River Road and South Hill Top Road in Ellicott City, Maryland (as noted in the source materials, near Bonnie Branch Road and Illchester Road on West side of Patapsco River). I have been there and confirmed the location with these photos (https://patch.com/maryland/ellicottcity/remembering-thistle-mill) of the Thistle Mill before it was demolished in 2013. Google Maps street view from 2009 and 2011 also confirm this, though note the location as "Gray's Mill". Bwwp (talk) 17:46, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
