[QUOTE="Bill Dilks, post: 184124, member: 3950"] Section 40 references are purely fictitious. The original ranch was likely about 1 section, 1 sq mile, or 640 acres. A ranch having 40+ sections would encompass an area larger than 6 miles long by 6 miles wide (6mi x 6mi); that's big, but it is not the real Southfork. Hence Jock saying, on the prospect of losing S/F to Vaughn Leland's bank group, that you couldn't " build another Southfork in 6 lifetimes". Geographically, it's all TV in this subject. Look in page 6 of this thread. You'll see a map of a lot of sites in the Dallas area, including S/F and Ray's large ranch that McKay bought. This ranch of Rays' is near Rockwall, TX, about 15 miles from S/F. Ray's first house was on McCreary Rd, right behind Southfork. Using google maps, you'll find this. [ATTACH=full]18170[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]18169[/ATTACH] The 2-story garage section with front entrance and double window is the addition made over the years. With that in mind, you can see the roofline of the original house on the left side of the pic. You'll also see that the Southern Cross is not in San Angelo, TX which is maybe 350 miles from Dallas, but in the far-eastern Dallas suburb of Forney, TX. [/QUOTE]
