#97 — The boundary, stated once, plainly, at the head of the leg

The exact page text, read by your browser's voice.

The rule of this section, in one paragraph, before any place is named: a famous place is Walkerton's only if a record or a measurement puts it inside the town of Walkerton, in Lincoln Township, St. Joseph County — the town the post office's 46574 happens also to serve far beyond its line, which makes the ZIP a mailing fact, never a boundary. Fame obeys the same doors as everything else. What follows in this section is therefore sorted before it is told: Walkerton's own famous ground first at its true size, and the world's famous ground nearby at boundary size, each labeled as it comes.

Sources: People leg of this build, "The negatives roll: names that are not Walkerton's, printed so they stay that way" (the boundary discipline; Glenn; representation is not residence). Sources leg of this build, "The method, as practiced — and the four doors" (the four Walkertons; containment before verdicts). Health leg of this build (South Bend at about twenty miles). This section's articles below, each carrying its own record.
