To find parts of Conclusion and A Friend In Need locate a map of Montgomery County Maryland and search for The Black Hills Regional Park. The Little Seneca Lake did not exist in the mid 1800's when the O'Neale's owned these properties. It was added in the mid 1900's and we believe one of the known O'Neale homesteads was flooded by the lake.
