Partitioning between Meander Corner and MHT
I am surveying a section line between two adjacent government lots abutting tidal waters. According to the original notes, a meander corner was set at the top of a vertical bluff above the beach for better stability. When I go out there, I didn’t find the meander corner, but the existing top of bluff fits pretty well with purported GLO distance and I don’t think it has moved. The problem is that the bluff isn’t vertical and because the bank is skewed to the section line, it results in a difference of about 200′ (along the section line) between the meander corner and mean high tide (which is pretty close to the toe of the bluff).
My question: Would you treat the calculated meander corner as merely a witness point and extend the line to the line of mean high tide, or would you create an angle break at the meander corner by some apportionment method? For what it’s worth, there have been no improvements along the boundary.Thanks in advance!
