:*Yes, the coordinates take you to the historic marker for Piper.

  • Yes, the coordinates take you to the historic marker for Piper. Coleander was further north, on the other side of the river. Piper doesn't show on Google Maps, but look at the same coordinates in Mapquest and it will show you both sites.
