Corners: the curse of too much information??
I??ve observed this phenomenon more than once.
Say the position of a section corner must be determined for the survey. The corner is visited and the original wooden post is definitely long gone. The BTs are also gone. Say there is a pipe that the property owners interviewed state is the corner. No one knows who set the pipe, how or why. Some local surveys tie to the ??no record? pipe as the section corner.
GREAT IT??S THE CORNER!
So then the next corner on the list is visited. There is a tagged iron pipe here. Get the Record of Survey from the Recorder and it has a note on the procedure used to set the corner.
NOT ACCEPTABLE??the procedure stated on the map is IMPROPER! If there was no information how it got there then we could call it a FAITHFUL PERPETUATION of the original monument.
