That said, we have some confidence that we have placed the marker near the actual location. A typical reason for being unable to verify a location is that it might be on private property or maybe historic and gone without an obvious trace.
<3>The elevation is an estimate for the area around Rodgers - it will be higher in some places and lower in others.
<4>Of the area codes for Rodgers, area code (470, 678) is an overlay.
