I just corrected the description of how it got its name, to clarify that the correction line is not correcting a prior survey, but accomodating the curvature of the earth.

Sources include: oral history going back 40 years, the laws of spherical geometry, The Free Dictionary's definition of "correction line", the City of Correctionville's official website, and the state map already displayed on the page. (But no contemporaneous accounts of the naming!)
