Actually a Closing Township Corner (obviously), and YES, there is an overhang above the "+" and numerous observations (and taped distances) were required to get a good Position on it.

Don't you hate it when the GLO deputy chiseled the mark on an overhanging vertical face instead of on top of the boulder.
Like they wanted others to easily find it rather than have it get covered up. 😉

I thought that it was pretty cool, but Matt complained about all of the "extra" shots and measurements (damn kids these days).
:innocent:

That's nice.
Did you tidy it up? Looks rather like a 'new pin'.
What's the 6 -'s for? CC?
Very cool:)
Is it on line, or do you need to set a shiny new mon?
Nice hash marks. Cool photo!

No "tidy up" needed, its position is quite protected, and the marks look GREAT.
6 grooves East and the CC for Closing Corner. It doesn't really control much (if anything) anymore, the entire area is controlled by Mineral Surveys now.

It's effectively been a "Standard Corner" since the 1930s.

I felt a shudder in the force emanating from ?someplace? in Texas when you posted that 😉
Did you chalk the inscriptions or if not, how is it that they are so visible?

Nope, that's how they look.
HARD Quartzite, 120 years is NOTHING compared to how long that face has been weathering up there!
