Editorial: Missing boundary marker must be returned
Whoever has the Camak Stone, please put it back. The stakes could be higher than you realize.
For those who might be unfamiliar with its significance - including, possibly, the person or people who now have it - the Camak Stone has, since 1826, marked the boundary between the states of Georgia and Tennessee.
Until, that is, it came up missing recently.
The bigger problem here is that the survey that resulted in the placement of the Camak Stone was flawed, insofar as it placed the states' boundaries roughly a mile south of the 35th latitudinal parallel, which previously had been set by the federal government as the boundary between the two states.
While there have been some challenges to the placement of the Camak Stone in the ensuing decades, any real question about the exact location of the boundary between Georgia and Tennessee has been allowed to languish within the legal nicety that, as long as the Camak Stone was generally accepted as the legal boundary marker between the two states, it would be considered the official boundary.
But then drought came to Georgia a couple of years ago, and there was talk in the state legislature of forcing the boundary issue, so that Georgia could gain access to a corner of the Tennessee River flowing below the 35th latitudinal parallel. That talk translated into legislation empowering the governor to negotiate with Tennessee, a Georgia prerogative that Tennessee has understandably rebuffed.
And now, there's a federal court ruling that could have a more significant impact on water supply issues in Georgia than the occasional drought. Recently, as part of a long-standing "water war" among the states of Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama, a federal judge has issued a ruling that could severely restrict metropolitan Atlanta's access to Lake Lanier, the major source of water for the state's major economic engine. Unless Georgia, Alabama and Florida come to an agreement within the next three years over access to the Chattahoochee River, which is impounded by Lake Lanier, metropolitan Atlanta's access to Lanier's water will be severely restricted.
