In this example, yes, but my datafiles will not be beneath the web root. 
I'm wondering why all the examples I saw just showed the filename.  When I 
actually saw what it was pointing to it was %systemroot%\system32 something.

If I have two files, same name, different folder, which one will be found 
first using Server.MapPath?  Does it look alphabetically or does it look at 
an unsorted list as to when the folders were created?

I understand I can add the path or partial but then what is the point of 
searching?
