Town line looking north. Remnants of rail fence.
White pine stump. Probably pulled in 1st quarter of 19th century. Must have been a fairly large tree - believe it or knot, that stump is about 15 feet high. Should have put something in photo for scale. Located center of stump å±0.5mm 😉
Same stump.
Followed this old Patent Line that was established around 1772. Original description was from the King... Stone wall in some places was 6 feet tall.
Nice photos. Thanks for reminding me that I've been stuck in the office too long.

Now THAT'S a boundary line.
cool pics, thanx for posting B-)
I ran across a centuries old rock wall and remains of cabins once in North Carolina out in the middle of no man's land while running a pipeline....wish I had taken pictures....but it also had dozens of 5 gallon buckets with 4 foot tall marijuana plants in them...so taking pictures wasn't really on the agenda.

I like that idea of scraping the tree and writing the station number on it. Clever.
I also scrape a tree and note the station number and the distance to the traverse point; however, I place my scrape close to the ground so when the scrape heals it does not look like a blaze. I also use a blue paint stick and mark a nearby rock if a tree isn't handy. I like to cover my traverse points with a couple of "suspicious" rocks and tie small pieces of blue ribbon nearby with the knot facing the station. The blue does not attract attention to others, however easy for me to spot.
By placing your scrape close to the ground, as the tree grows, your scape will be head high in 20-25 years? Just kidding. Surprising how many newbies and property owners are dead sure of this!!!

Pics of the pot plants... That's even better! Strip out the geographic locators though...
