If I was making a map of Dealy Plaza from scratch it would likely turn out very similar to yours and Don's as there is only so much variation that can happen with a fixed scale drawing. But the variation is there between your two maps. To accuse some one of theft is a serious matter Anthony. Especially some one as well respected and loved and whose integrity has never been questioned as Don.
There is no perhaps. No one else had a map of Dealey Plaza with the same distance from Main Street to the TSBD. Before my map in 1990 all previously uploaded maps had it wrong. You can compare several details and see where he used my map and then modified it. If you make the false claim that I got my map from somewhere else I challenge you to upload that previous to 1990 map.
I guess it is also a serious charge to accuse the most beloved author and Pulitzer Prize winner of plagiarism, but in the real world it has happened.
