Heading: the county map as evidence

Text: Defendants' counsel gave no grounds for his objection to the map's introduction, except to say, We have no objection to the Court having a map. We object to it being introduced. Under ARCP 44(g), historical works, books of science or art, and published maps or charts, when made by persons indifferent between the parties, are prima facie evidence of facts of general notoriety and interest. Moreover, it is apparent from the record that the trial judge made only very generalized use of the map in assisting him in placing in perspective the location of the property actually described in the deed as compared to the location of the property owned by the grantor. In this we find no prejudicial error. AFFIRMED. TORBERT, C. J., and MADDOX, SHORES and BEATTY, JJ., concur.
