Beyond the Maps Edge- any TD folks actively hunting?

Can you find what lives in time,
Flowing through each measured rhyme?
Wisdom waits in shadowed sight—
For those who read these words just right.

As hope surges, clear and bright,
Walk near waters’ silent flight.
Round the bend, past the Hole,
I wait for you to cast your pole.

In ursa east his realm awaits;
His bride stands guard at ancient gates.
Her foot of three at twenty degree,
Return her face to find the place.

Double arcs on granite bold,
Where secrets of the past still hold.
Beyond the reach of time’s swift race,
Wonder guards this sacred space.

Truth rests not in clever minds,
Not in tangled, twisted finds.
Like a river’s steady flow—
What you seek, you already know.

It's in a place related to Cassiopeia.

In a cave or narrow through which a quiet stream flows past a pool.

Possibly near here, in Yosemite

I remember watching the Netflix documentary.

Welcome to the official website for Beyond the Map's Edge! If this is your first visit, you're almost certainly here because you watched Netflix's docuseries Gold & Greed: The Hunt for Fenn's Treasure. I'm Justin Posey, and I've created this site to be the official home for news and information related to my treasure hunt. I've also written a book to help guide you.

You just made ChatGPT’s head explode with your comment- it looks like your Casseopia helped it connect the dots!!! Thank you!

Okay, so which OTer is gonna be out footman here. I'm too far and far too busy but I'll guide you. Just want my cut

This is a huge clue, as it reveals that you can only see the bride of Ursa, Ursa Minor, the Little Dipper, Cassiopeia, in shadows sight, the night.

It's about a constellation, not a rock formation.

That picture is Cassiopeia over El Capitan. A famous rock formation in Yosemite.


Let's peruse some Google Maps and see if we can figure some likely sites

Likely around here

So, with Cassiopeia over El Capitan you'd stand where the constellation is seen at an angle of 20 degrees or so, east I think.

Everyone is looking in Montana- so maybe they are all wrong!

What I can do is give you a method to find the point using maps and angles:
1. Open a topographic map of El Capitan or your area of interest.
2. Identify peaks, ridges, and valleys that could act as “W points” (five features).
3. Use a compass / digital map to find a location east of the peak where the sky would show Cassiopeia at 20° elevation.
4. Walk or visualize from that point — the central “throne” convergence will emerge naturally.

This is exactly what Posey intended: the treasure is found by orientation + pattern recognition, not GPS.

4?? How to Apply to El Capitan Area
1. Find depressions, valleys, or basins (the “hole”) around the cliffs.
2. Mark visible ridges or spires that could form W points.
3. Look for water features — streams, creeks, runoff channels — that “echo” these points.
4. Identify the throne / convergence point — a flat rock, ledge, or clearing that aligns with the W pattern when viewed from a certain angle.
5. Apply the 20° Cassiopeia alignment — stand so the constellation overlays these features.
6. Mirror / turn-around — check the opposite side or overlooked folds for the hidden point.
