19-Sep-1999 -- This confluence was located during a Sunday morning excursion on my Harley. Taking rt. 978 toward the Northwest of Madisonville, then rt. 2289 to the North, I found the general area, as marked on Texas county maps, at the first curve of rt. 2289. After rather awkward explanations to two land owners, the intersection point was located in a pasture, ca. 100 feet east of the main ranch house of Reding Ranch. It is positioned on the western uplands of the Caney Creek valley of central Madison County, about 6 miles to the northwest of the county seat, Madisonville.
