Footnotes

<1>We use the term 'historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable and we would like to be accurate. If you can provide us with more specific information about Clark, please let us know so that we can make corrections.
