<p>I just downloaded and synced bitcoin core v0.14.2 (64-bit).  After several days, it is now synced and (the check mark icon) says "up to date processed 483001 blocks of transaction history"  but when I view the blocks in my Bitcoin/blocks directory, it only goes up to block 00985 (rev00985.dat). Are the other blocks somewhere else? </p>

The number 00985 is not the block number.
