NAB (National Association of Boundators) may have to take away your ??Consult a Boundator? license plate frame if you don??t dig that up!

I posted a few years ago in this thread and this thread about helping an archaeological investigation where the GLO notes gave bearings to a trading house set up to trade with the native Americans. That info would have been really helpful if there were any section corners to work from. Unfortunately since most of the land for miles around belonged to a communal colony since 1856, which was then turned into a private corporation, there has been no incentive to preserve section corners.

Interesting intersection above
Land Court Plan from 1930 with bearing ties to the gable on white house and the RCA wireless mast.
I wonder how long it took surveyor to make that intersection unless he just used 'about here' for the lot boundary and strike northerly and southerly to the terminals.
Still involved a terminal line intersection.
what do the symbols denote at end of lines?

On the line it looks like arrows. On the lot are two RLBs or Registered Land Bounds and two STKs which seem to have stone symbols around. I poked around for the monuments and located the cart path when we completed a survey a little removed. When we return for something, I will stake out the points to see if I can find anything.
I have never plotted out the old RCA masts, but we have a museum that might have decent locations. We still have the giant concrete anchors around town.
The house with the white gable... There are a few of those on the road...

Screw'em!
It was certainly the oldest and coolest corner accessory that I have ever found. Unfortunately, the corner which it was an accessory to falls in the westbound lane of a rural State highway, so the original rock mound and post are long obliterated. I eventually found some notes from a USFS survey done in 1975 (which calls to the found grinding rock hole) where they retraced the original claim boundary, and another survey by the DOT in 1976 which confirmed the USFS positions.
