I checked the books by Kenneth Roberts on Amazon. They're historical fiction and look interesting, but he's not the author of the book I'm trying to find.

It was either a horror/mystery or science fiction/fantasy novel. As far as I can recall, it was about someone surveying or walking property lines in deep woods and the measurements were off, which placed the character in a "twilight zone" situation. I think it may have been mentioned in "Danse Macabre", Stephen King's non-fiction work on the history of horror. Unfortunately, I don't have a copy on hand to check.
