The article is big on names but badly deficient in substance

The bottom line on all this is the federal govt, which is supposed to act for the states, is seeking to expand its authority instead.
This is not what the founders wanted, and ever-encroaching all powerful entity.
I have no dog in this fight but am interested in the original property transfers as the country moved westward. American history is the history of property disputes involving original grants and the politics of the leaders at the time.

I read the BLM piece referenced above and have a better understanding. Of interest to me, would be the amount of land affected for your relatives. Is it in one parcel or are there several rather small parcels that vary as the river meanders
I just now went to google Earth and followed the river and the Texas Oklahoma boundary line. The difference between the Google map boundary is in some places at considerable variance to the current river course. Also the river shown is narrow compared to the high water level.
My view is that with a river as a boundary, the problem will never be solved because the parameters are constantly changing.
